Zwartkop Clubs at Cost Program We had such a good reaction to the promotion we did, which allowed members who had been members at Zwartkop for 5 or 10 years or more to buy golf equipment at our cost price. We have decided to extend the promotion to all members for the remainder of 2018.
We believe that by making the cost of equipment less expensive for our members, we are adding great value to your membership. As an example, if you buy a set of TaylorMade M4 irons, you would pay R14 999 at one of the big discounters. Our cost price and the price you pay is R11 640, plus we will trade in your old set at 70% of what we can sell them for. So you will save R3359 – and that’s just on the irons! Contact Ian in the golf shop to assist you with this.
It’s May! While the weather is glorious right now, it also means Winter Tee Times are now in effect with morning times from 06h45–08h13 & afternoon times from 10h45-12h45.
| | From the Golf Course | Hollowtyning - 7th May That’s right, we are hollowtyning next Monday. The good news is that we will be using the same process as last year, so the course will be playable immediately. We use a much smaller tyne so the holes are tiny compared to the previous way it was done.
Also remember your ball has a 50/50 chance of bumping into the hole as it does of bumping out!
We’ll have a video for you in next week’s newsletter on the hollowtyne process so we can answer your questions on how and why it gets done! |

First things first. One of our members that goes by the initials of DJ as already thrown two of his wedges into the river on the 13th after hitting poor shots. This past Saturday DJ duffed his second shot and once again attempted to throw his club into the river. His day was going so badly though that his throw never even reached the river! Don’t be like DJ... Make sure that you have your wedges custom fitted. To learn more about this please click here. The short game is one of the most important aspects of the golf game. Did you know that putting makes up half of your score? Would you like to know more about your putting stroke and where you go wrong? Would you like to improve your putting and lower your score? If so please click here and let us help you with a putter fitting.
