November 06, 2025

THE quiet efficiency of a skilled marker can make all the difference in a game of singles, ensuring that every bowl is judged fairly and every end flows smoothly.

- CHERYL WATERMAN

Recognising the importance of this role, Umhlali Country Club recently hosted a successful marker's course, initiated by Umhlali CC's Cheryl Mostert, a respected member of the Bowls South Africa Coaches Standing Committee.

The course, run by the Port Natal Bowls District Technical Official Standing Committee (PNB DTOSC), drew an overwhelming response from bowlers eager to improve their understanding of the game. Coordinated by Umhlali Bowls Secretary, Joy Catto, the event took place at Umhlali's top-class facilities and saw 29 participants attend from clubs including Umhlali CC, Darnall, Durban Collegians and Durban Bowling Clubs.
