Southbroom Ladies Open Day
The ladies staged their Southbroom Ladies Open Day on Monday with Allyson Thomas and her busy bees putting on a great show and really making Southbroom proud. Shelly Myers and Eli Bachman won the day with wonderful golf. One of the highlights of the day was a hole-in-one by Della Kempthorne on the 14th hole. It was Della’s first one and she was just delighted! Always special.

Talking about special, Sheena and I, together with our daughter Courtney and her husband Steve made a quick trip down to Port Alfred on Tuesday to share Connor's 21st Birthday with him. Where has the time gone? On Wednesday we played golf at Humewood in Port Elizabeth. It is a magnificent genuine Links golf course and without a doubt in my top five courses in South Africa. It is in great condition, very playable and a wonderful test especially if a breeze moves in.
If you haven’t played Humewood it is a must on your bucket list. It is as good as almost any Links that hosts the British Open. So good. My top five in South Africa are Durban CC, Humewood, The Wild Coast, Leopard Creek and St Francis Links, not necessarily in that order.

Congratulations Chris Miller!
Chris is our winner in the national competition that ran last week honouring Shane Lowry's win at The Open. Chris won a dozen Srixon golf balls. Well Done Chris
Condolences John Burnett
A long standing member & home owner in Southbroom, Mr John Burnett, passed away peacefully in Johannesburg this week. He is survived by his wife Yvonne, 6 children and 13 grandchildren and 3 great-grand children. John was an incredibly kind, thoughtful man and one with immense integrity. He loved his family, his art, people and especially Southbroom and was always bringing family & friends down to enjoy his incredible hospitality (notably the Duikers group). We extend our sincere sympathies to Yvonne, Mark, Oliver, Linde, Joy and all family. What a legacy.
He will be sadly missed.
The memorial service will be held on Tuesday 6th August at 12 noon at the Rosebank Catholic Church, 16 Keyes Ave Rosebank followed by a wake at Wanderers Golf Club. Swing Free John.
