Desert Classic – Need we say more?
 
 
Yep, this is our very own Patrick The Arab Hofmeyr playing in the Desert Classic sponsored by Cape Town Fish Market at the Sanctuary.

We wanted to penalise him for using the broom to sweep the greens, but it was actually his camel’s toothbrush.
It was a great day with some exceptional scores and CTFM spoiling the members with free sushi afterwards.

Our Mid Am team is doing pretty well this season!

They managed to halve with Strand 4 all , which is a great achievement considering all the games were played there.
Now we need to beat Royal Cape on the 28th to stand a chance to get to the semi-finals.

Well done guys, keep up the good work and we will be holding thumbs for you!

When you’re pulling out that #5 Iron from your bag, if you had a Tour Caddie, the question they would ask you
is not how far CAN you hit your #5 Iron; but HOW FAR DO YOU really hit your #5 Iron.
 
 
 
What a way to stay fit

 
If you’re measuring ‘steps’, get out and play golf more often. You’ll blow your target away.
And there’s much more fun along the way.
