A big golf weekend awaits… who is your pick to win the green jacket?
Greetings Fellow Golfers,
It’s Masters time, a week that most patrons still get excited about and for some it even leads to a few late nights over the weekend, it just depends who is at the top of the leaderboard going into the final 9 on Sunday...
Who are you backing?
Course update
Back home we are still recovering from the devastating windstorm that hit the Winelands on Sunday. A few members played 9 holes yesterday afternoon and got a closer look at the damage the wind caused to our beautiful golf course and clubhouse. We will be opening the back 9 tomorrow, sadly the clean-up and cutting-up of trees will continue well into May.
Club Champs
The final round of the American Shutter Stellenbosch Club Championships also had to be postponed due to the high winds. The final round of the 100th Club Championship will now be played on Saturday, 27 April in the morning. For the players who missed the cut and other members who would like to play on the 27th – we will have tee times available in the afternoon for you to enjoy a round of golf.

Monthly Mix Competitions
Our March Monthly Mix Competition took place a little earlier than usual as the last Sunday of the month was part of Easter Weekend. So, we pegged it up on the 24th with Stellenbosch Hills spoiling the participants on the day. Our champions on the golf course for the day was the 4-ball of Corne Burger, Thalina Roos (néé) Verschaeve, Willem and Leonie Malherbe with 89 stableford points. Romy Dippenaar and her team were crowned our Quiz Champs!
March Mix Competition Winners
The April Mix Competition will be taking place on 28 April with La Pommier Wines being our wine of the month and the theme yes, you guessed, it The Masters.
Ending off on a positive note and for those interested in the progress of the new members area, please see the photo below taken from my office. The construction team is getting ready for the concrete floor that will be done on Monday.
Steelwork being done
Enjoy the weekend's golf on and off the golf course.
All the best,
Louis
