Considering that the greens are recovering from the spring treatment, one cannot complain about players playing four shots better than their handicap.

Richard Naidoo won his first Monthly Mug on a nett 68, on a count-out from Willem Erasmus and Rajen Goodoon, all on nett 68.
Spare a thought for Owen McLuckie, who made an eight on No. 15 to score 40 Stableford points. Had it not been for the eight, Owen would have walked the Mug without a count-out. Second was Richard Naidoo, followed by Rajen Goodoon, all on 40 points.
The Gerry’s Motors closest to the pin on number 2 was again won by Tuppy Schiever, with closest to the pin on number 3 going to Johannes Mchunu. Two-clubs were scored by Johannes and Rajen Goodoon.
The jackpot was shared by Gail Boettiger and Gordon Smith on 11 points. Thank you to Mortimer Toyota for their sponsorship.
Arnie’s birthday bash success
Arnold Boettiger went all the way to make sure that the 72 players who entered his 70th birthday celebrations won fantastic prizes donated by various sponsors.
A hole-in-one of R100,000 was sponsored by Richard Ford, with Nick Simpson coming closest, but no cigar. An auction took place, with a total amount of R4900 raised for club funds.
Kamy Baboolal and Deejay Ramdhav came first, with Jackson Fick and Boety van Zyden in second, and J and M Riddle third. A big thank you must go to Arnold and Richard for the sponsorship, as well as the scrumptious curry and rice in the evening.
Friday’s Pick ‘n Pay competition was won by Johannes Mchunu on 20 points. This Saturday, Macksons will sponsor the Skaapdag, followed by the Rite Watch Golf Day and a farewell to member Ledlie Hume.
The Eskort Open will be held on November 15, 16 and 17, with the Hospice Golf Day on October 19.
