Brrrrr... Winter has fully settled in the Cape and we’ve had a few days of good rain. The greens have coped very well with the rain and the courses are in a beautiful state.
To accompany the colder weather our latest jackets have arrived from Global Golf and we absolutely love them! They keep our coaches warm, which is much needed if you take a look at this photo from Chalton of the Killarney Country Club in Gauteng. Yes you're seeing correct, it is frost on the course! The warm jacket is quickly becoming the favourite ‘member’ of our team!

EOGA Steenberg Target 36
Steenberg keeps growing the game golf with the Target 36 initiative. The members that signed up a couple of months back are working through their target and are loving it.
Steenberg held another Target 36 event, but this time only for the ladies. 7 ladies took part in the event and they played beautifully! Ronell van Rooyen (red cap) had 30 shots – besting the Target by 6 shots! Congratulations! That’s a beautiful result!

EOGA Arabella Family fun
Arabella had a Father’s Day with loads of fun activities organised for the whole family. André was there and led the putting and chipping section for the day, joined by Etienne. What a beautiful day!
What's coming up?
André continues with the junior clinics every Tuesday and Thursday. Pick and choose which days work best for you and enjoy the world-class coaching that André offers to all our youngsters.
If being on the course when the weather is not playing along is not for you, you can still work on your fitness, an essential element for playing golf. André is passionate about fitness and you can book a gym session with him as part of an Arabella member. You won’t regret it!
Arabella golf club is having a big event in July aiming at getting the whole family to enjoy a wonderful time together. Plus they are offering some great discounts to stay at the hotel. Why not take a trip to Kleinmond and stay the weekend while Juniors take part in the event! EOGA will be there and André will be organizing lots of fun activities on the greens. Please note that the entrants must be course ready!
