A very big thank you must go to all our Sponsors. We cannot do what we do with their help. From Food and Beverage to Golf Course, these companies play a vital role in giving to you, the member, great value. Lastly a huge thank you to two aspects of our club. Firstly the Committee who dedicate their time to making Durbanville Golf Club the place to be, for always looking to give the membership the value they deserve and to create a sustainable club. Then to you, the Member, who give to DGC that special feeling of Community. We are after all one huge community looking out for each other so thank you for making us your destination of choice.

Our league teams are peaking at just the right time, with the Silver and Bronze 3 making it through to the quarter finals which was played on the 23rd October 2018. Congratulations – Silver beat Clovelly (4/2) and Bronze beat Westlake (2/1). Both going through to the semi-finals which will be held on the 13th October 2018.

Suat Palanduz and TJ Lee continued their unbeaten run with an opening 4&3 victory. Behind them, Winston Heunis and Bob Rees came from 3 down after 10 holes to earn an honourable half. The remaining three pairs all secured excellent wins - Mike Rolfe and Gordon Simmons 3&1, Neil Rix and Bert Vos 5&3, Gavin van der Merwe and Gerald Muller 2&1. The next match is at Durbanville vs Kuilsriver who lie second, whilst table topping Parow await us in the final match in December. Two wins could still see us win the league though many other results would have to go in our favour. Plenty still to play for.
Eddie met his future wife, Capetonian, Jacqueline (standing next to him) at the Wimbledon Palais dance hall in 1954 just a few weeks after he completed his 2 years National army service. During his time in the army, he learned discipline and commitment to his fellow soldiers. He still has these traits today. The two went on to marry in 1956 and then settled in Cape Town where they lived happily together for the next 59 years. Eddie worked for the Cape Times as a qualified Lithographer. Unfortunately Jacqueline passed away a couple of years ago. Eddie has a daughter, 2 Grandchildren and 2 Great-grandchildren. Eddie has been a member of DGC for 47 years and still plays at least twice every week, in the senior society morning field. His lowest handicap was 12 and he is still very competitive off a 29 handicap. He was invited to join the club by Jack Sheen who was a foundation member. This was long before the first formal clubhouse was built. It was before the club had a licence to serve alcohol to it’s members. That was until the then Prime Minister and later President of South Africa (B J Vorster) played a round of golf at DGC with his fellow politicians. After the game they had retire to the Oxford arms for a drink. The licence application was then fast tracked and issued two weeks later. Eddie has a pleasant disposition both on and off the course. He always has a smile on his face and really enjoys his golf. He is as “fit as a fiddle” and has a six pack to be admired and envied by his fellow golfers. He also oversees the 9 hole mashie course out at Burgundy estate on the days that he doesn’t play at DGC. Please join me in wishing Eddie Locke many more years of enjoyable golf and comradery with his fellow senior golfers. Allan Taylor, On Behalf of DGC’s Senior Society
