 Club Pool Our member’s club pool is now standing at R4600. Join us in the bar on Friday night to stand a chance of winning it. Our fires will be lit for those that would like to “bring and braai” with salads supplied on a first come, first served basis. Captain’s Comment Dear Members, Well, the men’s Club Champs for 2018 are behind us and I must congratulate Devon Twigg for winning the ‘C’ division. I hope all that competed enjoyed the course which is currently in magnificent condition. Last Friday saw the FAGS (Friday Afternoon Golf Society) inviting the Knysna Monday school for a friendly game. I was fortunate to meet some of the Knysna players and they too only had compliments for our course and organising staff. Well done to the George team who beat Knysna for the overall title. Click here for the album by Austin Graves. In closing, I would like to ask all our George Golf Club members to ensure that they carry a pitch fork repairer with them. These are now a compulsory piece of equipment, as are sand bags. In future you will be asked to show the starter that you these items with you. We continually ask all golfers to repair their pitch marks, and any others they may see on the greens, by doing this; we will be able to maintain the beautiful greens that we have. Your assistance in this regard will be much appreciated. I also ask that all smokers PLEASE carry an old bottle to dispose of your cigarette butts, or if you are in a cart, please use the butt buckets that are provided on the carts. I personally picked up over 100 “stompies” last week and they really do spoil the aesthetics of the course. Attached please find a copy of the Competition Scoreboard. A copy of the latest Rules and Regulations edition 6 can be found on the following link, as well as on the website. Have a great week! Yours in Golf  Club Captain Hole-In-One A visiting golfer, Mr. John Anderson achieved a Hole-In-One on Friday 2nd March 2018. The perfect fluke was played on hole number 15 over a distance of 155m using a 6 iron. Mr. Anderson has been playing golf for 60 years and this was his very first hole-in-one. Well done John!

 The green keeping staff will continue with over seeding the cool season tee boxes and fertilize afterwards this week. The staff will also continue to clean and fill up the gravel pathways for the week, weather permitting. The course staff will also continue to edge the concrete pathways on the course as well as continue to edge the kikuyu grass from the greens. The greens are currently mowed at 3mm. 8mm of rain was recorded for the past week. Weather for the week ahead
Thank you to everybody that took part in our sponsored day last Wednesday. A BIG thank you to JP from TaylorMade/adidas for the effort he underwent in having the driving net here for us. It really created a great atmosphere and the members that took part definitely enjoyed it very much. Our gratitude must also go to TaylorMade/adidas for the generous sponsorship – it is sincerely appreciated by all.
Please note the Pro Shop has got a special offer to all George Golf Club members to book a fitment on the new TaylorMade Twist Face technology at The Pro Shop in the month of March at NO cost.
