Durban golf network widens its base

Moving with the times is what it’s all about for Durban’s golf school ‘Men of the Sea’ (MOTS). Established in the 80s by a few captains of the KZN shipping industry, it revolves round being able to socialise over a good game of golf and a couple of ‘cold ones’ thereafter. But, just as the Banana Boys have become the Sharks in that period, so MOTS has added teeth to its format. The rules have been amended to widen the membership base to include shipping and associated industries; female members are welcome; sponsors have been brought in and get some very focused exposure to their target markets; guests can now be invited; ‘networking opportunities’ have become the words of the day; and a full-scale committee has been appointed to run the affairs of the club. If you wish to join this select KZN club – and are in the shipping and associated industries and have an official handicap – then contact: Dean Lailvaux, director of Amfi Freight International on (0)82 826 0728.
