The John Rowlands Trophy

John Rowland

This was started in 2009 in memory of John Rowlands who died after a long illness. He joined the Club in 2002 soon after it started at the Zoo Lake, having played the game as a student in Oxford University, in England.
John became very involved in the running of Zoo Lake Club and his memory lingers on.
In 2009 Christine Wakeham was first the winner of the impressive trophy donated by his widow Una and daughter Sarah.

In 2010 Anne Weiss was the winner. The tournament is played using the Zoo Lake Irish rules which provide a different challenge to the normal Golf or Association played in Gauteng.


The 2011 John Rowlands is scheduled to take place on Sunday May 15th.
