With not many golfers enjoying medal competitions, we are going to make the FOUR we do have throughout the year a little more special.
The Summer Monthly Mug is our first one and will be played on the 22nd of February. We would love to hear from you about what the best “type” of MUG there is to win – Let us know – I have a couple of ideas for the 21st century!
The Majors are by far the most watched, probably because it’s the best chance of seeing a couple of SAFFAS on the telly. So, we decided to make it even more exciting in 2025 – more about that as we get closer to the time.
Who will be our 2025 Stellenbosch GC Club Champions? Save the dates now…12 and 13 April.
After the very successful and popular 120th Birthday Celebrations of the club last year the decision was made to have a birthday party annually and this year we will be cutting the cake on the 26th of July.
With only 39 weeks to go until this year’s ABACUS Eikestad Classic, you need to put that date down in your diary immediately! With so much that still has to happen from now until then – it’s hard to contain one’s excitement.
Of course this is not everything happening at the club in 2025 – we will continue to highlight and remind you of things happening at your favourite destination.
May I also take this opportunity to thank everyone who responded to my previous DOG’s Tale on what’s happening in golf around the world – I loved all the feedback!
Keep it down the middle,
Louis
