Everything you need to know about our new digital scorecards

The future of scoring has arrived (and it’s smarter than your 7-iron!)
Like many other things in life — phones, cars, and even kettles — golf scoring has finally gone digital! Gone are the days of scribbling numbers on soggy scorecards, flipping through yardage books, or pretending your “rough estimate” was from the fairway. We’re thrilled to announce that ScoreCapture is now our official scoring partner as we tee off into this exciting new era of electronic scoring.

A huge thank you to Ford Stellenbosch for driving this innovation as the proud sponsor of both our traditional and now electronic scorecards. Before long, the paper scorecard will be as old-fashioned as a persimmon driver — so get ahead of the curve, download the app, and let our friendly Pro Shop team show you just how easy it is. Tap, swipe, play… and birdies await!

ScoreCapture – Your questions answered!
With the exciting launch of ScoreCapture during our members’ competition, we received some great questions from the field. Here are a few of the most common ones to help everyone get into the swing of things:

1. How many digital cards per fourball?
Only one player needs to keep score for the group. You can use more than one device if you wish, but it’s not required.

2. Do we still need to hand in a printed scorecard?
No, from now on all competition scoring will be done through ScoreCapture – no printed scorecards needed.

3. How do we sign the digital scorecard?
Once the player keeping score has double-checked everyone’s results, they simply tap “Sign”. Then scroll down to a marker’s name, hand the device to them, review the scores together, and the marker taps “Sign” under their name. Finally, scroll down again to “Save & Send” to submit the card. Easy as that!

4. Where can I view the leaderboard?
You can follow the live leaderboard directly on your device or check it out on the screens provided in the clubhouse.

5. Do I need to create a profile on ScoreCapture?
No need! All members have already been loaded onto the system. You only need to download the app if you’ll be scoring for your group.

Thank you for embracing the future of scoring – one tap closer to your next birdie!

Important notice for Saturday golfers – Road closures
Dear Members and Guests,

Please be aware that Saturday, 15 November 2025, is the date of the HOKA HALF – a large running event taking place in and around Stellenbosch.

With the race starting from Doornbosch Street and the event now based at Laerskool Eikestad, many roads leading to the golf course will be closed or heavily congested, especially in the early morning.

This is no ordinary race – it’s a full RUNFEST, with live DJs, in-race entertainment, and festival energy that’s sure to draw big crowds and cause major traffic delays.

We strongly advise all golfers to leave early to ensure you arrive on time for your tee-off.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. See you on the course!

Congratulations to our winners…

Parent & Child – A tradition of togetherness
One of the most cherished traditions on our calendar returns on Saturday, 29 November 2025 – the Annual Parent & Child Competition, now presented for almost four decades by Dr. Hertzog and his family. Few events capture the true spirit of golf quite like this one – generations walking the fairways together, sharing laughter, a bit of friendly rivalry, and those special moments that remind us of what the game is really about.

It’s always a wonderful day filled with smiles, stories, and that unmistakable family magic. In the words of Dr. Hertzog himself, “the day is about building relationships.”

We look forward to another memorable edition and can’t wait to see who will be crowned the Parent & Child Champions of 2025!
