Howsit fellow members, this month we are only going to have a very short note because our club’s monthly scramble will be published soon. July has started out a little warmer than last month and we can see it in the numbers around the course as well.
Quite a few changes have been made to the course and the general comment among the members is that it is definitely a move in the right direction. The bunkers are looking a lot better. Once the sand has settled, they will also be playing a lot better. A lot of cleaning up has also taken place around the course and looking so much better. Well done to the greenkeeping staff and management.

It was so funny on Friday evening at Captain’s Draw when the live entertainment started to unpack and set up their equipment. They are two elderly looking gentleman and we thought what had we done and let ourselves in for here. Anyway, once they started playing it was amazing. The atmosphere immediately picked up and we had a jawl of note with a number of the guests kuiering until 01:30 Saturday morning. No names mentioned. Looking forward to the next draw on the 29th July.
This month we are going to have the Vrouens vs Ouens on the 23rd and the draw should come out by Thursday 14th so keep an eye out for the mails to inform you of your opponents and tee times. Don’t forget we will be having pizzas after the game for supper.
Leagues:
Some of our league sides are doing very well while others are struggling a bit. Our men’s handicap league side has to win both of their last two games to ensure that they remain in the B Division. We are holding thumbs guys. All the other league sides are seeming to be doing enough to stay in their respective leagues and with a bit of luck maybe even win their leagues. The respective league positions may be found on the League tab on this website.
Happy birthday to all our members who celebrate their birthdays during the month of July. Hope you all have an awesome day.
