Captains Report
Hi all
|
Before I know it, this page pops up and we’ve scarcely recovered from the busy month that has passed so without further ado, special thanks to Errol Hart, Myra Roberts, Clyde Sterling and all who attended the very moving memorial service held in honour of Frank Small. He will be sorely missed. Well summer is well on its way with some of our beautiful trees already starting to bud and our greens committee are hard at work preparing the course for summer. Those advantageous dry fairways will soon be a thing of the past as the rough toughens and the fairways turns to soft green velvet so just before August becomes history here’s an interesting bit by kind favour of Wilma de Wet to highlight the historic August we have just experienced. “Het jy geweet dat hierdie Augustus 5 Sondae het, 5 Maandae en 5 Dinsdae het en volgens die slim mense gebeur dit slegs elke 823 jaar. Geniet die geskiedenis wat jy besig is om te maak, want nie jou oupagrootjie se oupagrootjie of jou agteragterkleinkind se kleinkind het of sal dit kan beleef nie. Die laaste twee vorige kere was dus in 1187 AD en 364 AD. En die volgende keer sal in 2833 AD wees.” August also hosted the ladies annual fund raiser which was a great success. Thanks to the golfers and also to the sponsors that took this opportunity to support the much needed charities in our area. Two very important events on our calendar happen this September and it is a privilege to welcome Mr Godfrey Ntoeleand the Telkom PGA to Centurion for the 6th consecutive year. Having a Sunshine tour event of this nature right on our doorstep is a wonderful opportunity for us to experience the talent our country has up close and personal. It is also very encouraging for the juniors amongst us to experience what can be achieved by much hard work and as a perk I enjoy a round with these up and coming professionals!! Thank you to Telkom for entrusting us with the honour of hosting this prestigious tournament and we look forward to welcoming you back next year! On 15 September we welcome a full field of golfers in support of the SA Special Olympics. This particular fund raiser promises to be a day to remember and will assist in enabling proud South African representation in 2011. Thank you to Rochelle and Konrad for all your hard work and passion and all who will support this very worthy cause. I wish I were here to participate and share with you. So here’s wishing everyone a wonderful swing into spring and remember
