Extract from 2006 Chairman's Report

There has been positive feedback from members and visitors alike on the enhanced clubhouse layout and facilities.

The revenue from rounds played and food and beverage, which had both been adversely affected during the building work, has shown an encouraging improvement during the last three months. The upgraded facilities are contributing to an increase in rounds, more quality corporate golf days, conferences, offsite meetings and other functions. Lunches are increasingly well attended and the deck bar has proved so popular.

Captains Report Jan 2006

As reports and articles in this publication will attest, in many ways 2005 has really been a great year for our Club. It is a great pity that the dams project, which promised to be the cherry on top, has had a setback.

Firstly we record our thanks and appreciation to Santam for their continued support of our Club Day. Their sponsorship goes back to 1974 when the competition was first launched and has certainly played a major role in ensuring that it has become our premier event of the year.
