KZN-Newsletter No.2

21 February 2010



Well I think out first game went off with a bang! The weather behaved itself (after all the rainy days we have experienced) the course was in great nick and a very good turn out of 100 players. The prize giving went off quickly and smoothly considering that each of the 100 players received a prize. Not having prize giving in the bar resulted in a far more intimate occasion and we will, in future, carry on with this concept.

Just a quick word about the Nationals. It seems that our friends from the other provinces are going to put us to shame regarding their numbers of supporters for the Nationals. A small region like East London who only have approximately 70 members are sending a contingent of 50 players, which is really something. We are the largest region and as of this time have only 45 people supporting this tournament. Please guys make an effort to support the Nationals, especially as we are the hosts.

The fee of R3000 needed for this tournament is well worth it as it includes, accommodation, 2 rounds of golf (caddy and cart at Wild Coast and caddy at Southbroom) 2 banquets, entertainment, a cocktail party and breakfasts. All players will receive a Nationals cap and golf shirt, plus a goodie bag to the value of R400. The Natal players in addition to the above will be receiving, a pair of socks, a pair of shorts or longs, a golf shirt and an evening shirt. What more can you ask for!! Please guys make the effort to get there.

We have 3 new members who will be inducted at our next game plus a past member will be reinstated.

Alex Albertse – Melmoth Build It – Hardware Retail.

We will also be re-instating past member Ray Clarke at this meeting and we welcome him back to Qaccs. Ray is a member of Royal Durban and plays off 16/11.

We received resignations from Mike Chesterman and Jon Howell, who is now living in the USA.

See you at our next game, which will be Royal Durban Golf Club on 2 March 2010 and not Mount Edgecombe as previously advised, due to them refurbishing the men’s locker rooms.
