Greetings from Derek

The 2009 Bertie Brown Better Ball Knock Out came down to the finals between Gary Purtell & Colin McKay vs. George Haswell and myself and it turned out to be one great game! I holed a crucial putt at 15 and then George holed two wonderful putts on 16 and 17 for birdie to win the game 2 &1. George really is a master with his long putter and he wields it beautifully ~ even from off the green. It is amazing how a match always comes down to putting. The greens are also running with a little more speed after Dan lowered the blades on the greens machine.

Captain Gavin Sole is running the Men's 2010 Eclectic, please see the lists in the Pro Shop and the Men's change room and if you would like to enter R15 is payable in the Pro Shop. Gavin will be using all the medal competition score cards. The next round is 17 March.

This Sunday is the popular early morning Alliance followed by a delicious Sunday Roast. The golf tee times and lunch bookings list is in the Pro Shop.
Tee off from 08:30am. Lunch served from 13:30.

Once again we are about to start a new handicap system and it only gets more ridiculous. From the 1st of April all competitions are played off the full handicap, which will take betterball and alliance scores into the 50's and 100's! The 3/4 handicap will go ~ which does mean only one handicap, but where are the days where you had to play well to shoot your handicap?

Nowadays 43 Ind points are normal and it becomes impossible for the scratch golfer. I don't think that SAGA actually know what they are doing or have a grasp of how the handicap should work. This new system will only be temporary and I predict another system before the end of the year. I just hope they keep it simple~ watch this space! For the full press release click here.


Silver Seas 'Full moon magic'

WOW enjoy this wonderful full moon photo recently taken at main beach by Dr Rav Kahlon.  And if anyone has a (preferably unfurnished) house/ Town house / flat in Southbroom that they would like to rent out for about 18 months, please contact the Pro Shop. It is for Ryan & Rav, a great young couple who recently moved up here from Cape Town. Rav is doing her intern years at Port Shepstone Hospital & Ryan is finishing off his Honours Degree.

Swing well this week.

Regards,
Derek & Sheena
