Kaylee Hunt has unfortunately had to have an operation on her hand which we did not anticipate
Her hand is now in her cast so she will have to withdraw from the Bloemfontein open
I am sorry for any inconvenience caused
Please advise if a medical certificate is required
The operation was done by dr East at Kloof hospital
Dear Karla, I am very sorry to hear about Kaylee’s operation – but it should heal quickly. Please could you send a medical certificate to Margo.
Be chatting.
