We have all heard the saying "It’s the same for everyone"
Brooks Koepka who had this to say before the US Open on players complaining about USGA course setups: "…everybody has got to play the same golf course. So it really doesn't make a difference… if you put it in the fairway and you hit every green, there's really no problem, is there?...So obviously they're not doing what they're supposed to do. So they're not playing good enough. If they put it in the fairway, you shouldn't have to complain about the rough. You hit the greens and you hit it close, you shouldn't have to complain about the greens… It's just something we've all got to deal with. If you play good enough, you shouldn't have a problem." Exciting new developments!
Thanks to Raubex we are able to rebuild the bridge!
The rain can no longer stop us from playing our beloved sport.

Winter is coming...
When winter comes whirling in, we usually take cover under heavy jackets, woolly jerseys and duvets. The biggest challenge each morning is put one toe out of bed onto the freezing tile floor!
But winter can be fun, and warm, and snug. You just need the right people and the right setting!
Before winter properly sets in, make way for our Winter Special! This includes a bed & breakfast and a complimentary glass of red wine or gluhwein. Relax after dinner with a hot cup of coffee in the one hand and dessert in the other.
To book your winter retreat, call us on 051 871 4200 or info@blackmountainhotel.co.za.
Join in on the fun
