Monday Mixed

Yeehah! Mixed opens are starting again, and it’s time to join the fun and enjoyment of spring golf!

Below you will see all the details... The nice thing is that it is on Monday 25th, the public holiday and we are going to be treated with a Braai afterwards.

Please book at the Pro Shop, as you can’t book online.




Mid-Am League

Our boys are doing extremely well. They have won 2 of their 3 matches and are currently in the joined first position.
Mooi gedoen, manne! We will be holding thumbs for your next game.

WP Representative

We have another member that made it into the WP Golf Squad. Congrats to Ian Truter for making the side. What a Boytjie!

Below is the letter of confirmation. I didn’t believe him at first, but here is the proof:




Friday Par 3 Competition

This Friday, we are back with 3 Clubs and a Putter. Shotgun start at 15h30. There is still space for 7 players, so hurry up!
If the weather turns sour on us, we will notify you before 12h00 on Friday.

This will be the 3rd last Par 3 for the season, so don’t miss it.
 



We are renovating the rough on certain holes to eliminate all the guinea fowl scratchings and level the rough.

Holes being done are:

9th hole and the driving range
Between the 1st and 2nd hole
Between holes 3 and 4
Between holes 4 and 5
Right hand side of the 8th

The rough between 9th & Driving range and 1st and 2nd hole are also going to be seeded with a cape wild mix grass. These areas must be treated as GUR, there are areas where you cannot drop closer to the hole.

PLEASE remember that carts must not drive in the rotavated areas and it is a compulsory drop.

Baie dankie.



Whisky & Lucky Draw

Our Lucky draw is worth R2400-00 this Friday! Join us for your chance to win. See you there!

commitments?

running on roads, riding on bikes. They’re even investing in ‘wearables’ to track their steps.


 
 
 


If you ever feel a little bit stupid, just dig this up and read it again; you'll begin to think you're a genius...
