Free golf day a real treat
The Hills Retirement Community treated a group of players to a free four-ball game at the Kloof Country Club.
MORE than 70 Upper Highway professionals and influencers were treated to a golf day by The Hills Retirement Community (THRC) at the Kloof Country Club.
“In a society where it has become widely accepted that there are no free lunches, imagine the consternation and disbelief when players were informed that they would be required to pay nothing; that their entrance fees, halfway lunches and drinks were all courtesy of THRC,” said THRC’s CEO, Craig Smith.
Unknown to them, their game was being observed by a well known eye-specialist, Dr Izzy Dorff, and during the course of the competition, he handed out vouchers for free eye tests.

The vouchers mostly went to people who, from the standard of their putting, obviously had difficulty seeing the hole.
“Although Dr Dorff undertook to honour his promise of free eye tests, he cautioned that even with new glasses, he doubted whether it would make any difference to the quality of their game. He suggested that perhaps they should consider taking up a game such as bowls, as they obviously needed bigger balls,” laughed Craig.
