We have certainly had our fair share of rain these past few weeks. As a result, the Course has been very wet, with a few fairways and green surrounds especially hard hit. Last week the Club requested that all carts remain on the paths as far as possible, and that the fairways be avoided at all times. I want to thank all the players who make an effort to lessen any impact they may have on the Course by going around wet patches instead of ploughing through thoughtlessly.

One Sunday evening we received the sad news that Derek Botes had passed away. Derek was certainly a colourful character in our Club and will be missed. Knowing him, we should not be sad but rather celebrate a life lived fully, and definitely to his own tune. In golfing terms Derek went out on a high, having just won the Jock of the Bushveld in Mbombela on Saturday, on the back of gold and silver medals at the World Transplant Games in Australia. Arrangements for a memorial get-together will be communicated by the Club in due course.
