| | | Rain, Rain and more rain… Centurion hasn’t seen rain and flooding like this in a few years. Needless to say the golf course is under water. Jannie can't even keep up with recording the rainfall as the gauge keeps overflowing. Please could we ask members and home owners not to walk out on the golf course in these conditions – it is extremely dangerous and we have already had to deal with an incident yesterday which fortunately ended without severe injury. The traffic is chaos too, so please think safe and stay safe wherever you are! If it ever stops raining, we hope to see you out on the golf course soon after. Singles Club by Chris Delport 22 very dedicated and committed members braved the elements on Sunday to participate in the inaugural Singles Club (members with single figure handicaps). The players managed to play 12 holes when the river broke its banks and we had to abandon the round. The scores were not great given the conditions and it was decided to award prizes over 9 holes. The best scores were: *Brent Goddard -1; William Skinner 0; Floris de Klerk +3; Duanne du Toit +3; Ernst Ludick +4; Vernon le Roux +4; Wouter Potgieter +5; Chris Delport +5; Ben Zeelie +5; Marco Anderson +5. Despite the conditions, players had great fun in the pouring rain, and it was an excellent team building for the members. We look forward to an even bigger field in the 2nd event to be played in January and hopefully better weather. Just two weeks to go to Christmas...
