 We had a rainy day last Thursday (17ml in a torrential downpour in the evening alone) but for a brief time in the early evening there was a reprieve and when the sun came out it casted a beautiful light over the golf course.
Sat, 17th March is St Patrick’s Day… This weekend is St Patrick’s Day and Zwartkop will be joining in the party with live music from 18h00…feel free to join us. If you dress in green you will receive a free Gilroy’s beer!
The Grand Old Lady got a hair cut… Our prized clubhouse Bluegum got a pruning yesterday. The job is not quite complete, but our expert tree doctor was on hand to “lighten her load”. They literally remove the dead wood and balance out the load bearing a bit so that the tree can concentrate on producing healthy new growth. We have also fertilized all around the root base to provide the tree with any essential nutrients that it might be in need of.
Small Children Around the Clubhouse Surrounds It is so great to see many of the homeowners coming down to the clubhouse more regularly for drinks and meals. Unfortunately, more people means more rules, but hear us out! We see a lot of young children unattended around the clubhouse, playing in the bunkers and on the putting green. This is unfortunately not allowed, firstly because of the damage that can be caused, but also because very often there are still golfers out on the golf course, which makes it extremely dangerous. Just one errant golf ball could seriously injure an adult, never mind a child. It is against the Club’s Rules for any non-golfer to be out on the golf course while people are playing golf for this very reason. Please help us to ensure the safety of yourselves and your families Let us help you play better golf This week Elsabe looks at the option of using your putter if you are just short of the green on the 5th hole.
