Thanks to everyone who played in last Saturday's Imperial sponsored day. We had a blast and the braai at the Lapa was an absolute beauty!! Thanks again to our regular sponsors Kobus from Watsons Meat, Gideon from Vodacom George, Dolph from SAPCOR, Jan from OppieSee and Wikus from De Dekke SPAR for sponsoring our Wednesday club events and Ian and Jayde from the pro shop for sponsoring our three majors. We truly appreciate your support!! Congrats to Marije and the Oubaai Ladies League Team for their convincing win over the ladies from Plettenberg Bay. | | | | | | We are once again extending our reciprocal agreement with Arabella for this year and members are welcome to play at their guest rate of R440, cart excluded. When you are heading down to Cape Town on your next trip, leave a day earlier and play Arabella on your way. Our Member-Member Tournament is on 12, 13 March. Please enter at the pro shop or with Lehan. In an effort to expose Oubaai to a larger group of golfers, we will host Dale Hayes’ Golf Day on Tuesday, 7 June. More information on this event will soon be published. Rohan and his team will start our annual bunker work this week where we replace our old sand with USGA standard sand. All bunkers which are under repair will be played as GUR. The South Cape Inter Estate League is kicking off in a few months and I am looking for committed players interested in playing on our Oubaai team. The competition is usually on the last Sunday of each month and offers you the opportunity to play seven of the best golf courses in the Southern Cape. The emphasis is on fun and networking between members from the various clubs and of course trying to beat each other on the golf course! There are still spots available for the Ladies@home Day on Friday, 4 March. Please e-mail Lehan to book your place. Please view the poster below for more information. Swing Slow!

This week on the course, we have so far done a light dusting of sand on the greens, begun topping up bunker sand, continuing to remove weeds from the veld grass areas, and repaired the unsightly cart path area near the ladies 10th tee.
The topping up bunker sand is a slow process, as the team is removing as many stones as possible from the bunkers they will be working in. This is followed up by brushing as much sand down off the faces of the bunker, and then checking levels and topping up sand accordingly. The new sand is mixed in with the old sand to provide as much consistency as possible in relation to the other bunkers. Work has begun on the 9th greenside bunkers.
There have been a fair number of weeds that have popped up in the native areas. There has been a small team removing all these weeds, and “neatening” up the veld areas once more. The worst holes were identified and started with, and we will continue to work through the course.
On the weather front side, there are some gusty conditions on Wednesday, with some rain to follow over the course of Wednesday evening and Thursday morning, some welcome relief should it be forthcoming. Besides this, weather looks great for golf!
Keep it where the mowers go!
