A word from Meyer
We measured a total of 470 mm of rain from Sunday (afternoon),
21 April – Wednesday (morning), 24 April which caused some damage to our course which will take a bit of time to repair.

The greenkeeping staff did a phenomenal job in the last week to get the course playable, the players are in awe of the progress we’ve made.
We started with the over-seeding of the greens just before the floods and we were delighted to see the seeds germinating despite the heavy rains. We will do a couple of follow-up seedings to make sure all areas are covered.
Thanks for all the support and understanding received from everyone, we appreciate all the offers from homeowners to assist in the clean-up, you guys are great. We would also like to thank Southbroom golf club for offering our members a members green fee while our course was closed.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to families who have lost loved ones during the devastating floods.
Caddies
San Lameer hosted a very successful league match, it was very disappointing that Scottburgh’s two teams were not able to play this time but I look forward to seeing them out here next time. San Lameer won on 3 for 2.
Well done guys we are super proud of you and thank you for representing our club so well on the day. View the results here. View the results

Handicap news
In January 2020 South Africa and the SADC countries, along with the rest of the world, will be going live with the World Handicap System.
The only significant changes to our current system will be that your Handicap Index will be calculated using the best 8 score differentials out of the last 20, with no reduction percentage, and the maximum score allowed on a hole when calculating your Adjusted Gross Score for Handicapping purposes will be Net Double Bogey ( i.e. net 2 over par or zero Stableford points).

Country Club monthly activation
We decided to have a fun activation every month for our local and visiting members. The aim of these activations is to build camaraderie and friendship between our homeowners and members and the charges for each event will be kept to a minimum to cover our costs. We would appreciate if you can diarise these
dates accordingly. A poster for each activation will be distributed closer to each event.
