As Covid-19 starts to decline the crime starts to spike and this week our club was once again broke into.

Booze was taken, along with the sound system. Same modus operandi, same culprits? whatever. Keep yourselves and your property safe.

New member Wayne Simpson has already gotten the measure of the greens as on Wednesday he and Hans Beuthe teamed up to win the betterball with 44 points.

Hans is on a roll after his great win in the latest medal.

Three points behind were Mike Eley and Geoff Thommasen with 41.

Hans hadn’t finished as he also rolled in two 2-clubs – not a bad afternoon’s work.

Brian Richardson is a usual pedestrian to the Captain’s table and this week he directed visitor Brian Phillpot up to collect the Stone.

P&G Construction were the sponsors for Saturday’s betterball Stableford, thanks to Coenie du Bruyn who last week was announced as the club’s new vice-captain.

The ladies also took part in the tournament and were led out by new ladies captain Esme Hadley, who was voted in on Saturday morning at the AGM.

The ladies were really on a high as Mandy Jones and Hayley Gilliver (keeping up with Jason) absolutely creamed it by returning 48 points to easily win the whisky.

Hans Beuthe this time had Tony Power to assist him as they collected second place with 44.

The ladies took third spot with Linda Hall and Sharon Booysen making 42 points and Geoff Thommasen with Mick Marriot finished off proceedings with 41.

Pete Gilliver couldn’t let the family down as he rolled in a 2-club, along with Barry Kisten for a R40 voucher.

This week it was the turn of Russel Freeman and Clyde Leisegang to pay for the Stone’s upkeep and after weeks of trying they finally made it, congratulations.

Just wish that the Minister would allow bunker rakes back, there were some foootprints of elephantine proportions on Saturday.

Please players, do your best to smooth over when leaving the bunkers.

There’s the usual betterball on Wednesday and Halfway Toyota Park Rynie are the sponsors of next Saturdays monthly medal thanks to Russel who organises it.

It’s a few weeks away but on Saturday 24th Coenie du Bruyn and Herman Grotious are the days sponsor and in the evening there will be a bring and braai (the club will supply the rolls etc) and music will be played by Cat and Gareth a great evening is expected.

There was a great turnout for the official opening of the new restaurant called the Clubhouse on Friday night.

They’re open all week for breakfast, lunch and bar snacks so if you’re feeling peckish pop along and also enjoy the view.

Flyer’s footnote: Not only are three-putt greens probable, sometimes they’re an achievement.
