| The most talked about and anticipated tournament in golf!
| |  |
In 2012, Liezl and I had a dream trip to Augusta with our friend, Gideon Du Plessis and his boys. We stayed in a private home near the course and enjoyed the VIP treatment as part of a group that included Louis, Charl, Lee and Darren Clarke. There were 12 hour days at the course and world-class nights back in the neighbourhood!
On Monday night, I had the great opportunity to be on a podcast with Dale Hayes, Tony Johnstone, Brandon Stone, recent Sunshine Tour winner, Jaco Prinsloo and Mike Tindall (England Rugby). We all shared stories about Augusta and the Masters. Dale played in three championships, Tony played in one. For Brandon, it’s the only Major waiting for him. For Mike it was a 40th birthday treat and a near ace at 16. For me, it was the fact that I have been watching The Masters 15 years longer than SA had TV! I won’t bore you with the link but it was 1hr and 30 minutes of memories.
This year’s Masters may be as wide open as in recent years! Jon Rahm is a new Dad, Bryson has a driver just for Augusta, Jordan has tasted victory again and Dustin knows how to win and win again (especially after his Champion’s Dinner finished off with peach cobbler). I like Collin Morikawa, Rory, Lee Westwood and Dylan Frittelli for the @golfchamps pool.

Easter FUN
Our special Easter Sunday Lunch was well supported, with limited attendees due to the pandemic. The Easter Bunny arrived and treated the littlies to a fun egg hunt… and we hope that we will once again be able to host the very popular Easter Egg Hunt with our Village Square SuperSpar. Watch the video below for the sneaky bunny’s arrival at the Links .

Team member of the Week:
Aaron Haldane
My name is Aaron Haldane, I am on Kevern’s estate maintenance team and have been working at The Links for just under two years now. My work duties include operating the water purification plant, installing and upgrading Wi-Fi systems as well as sewerage and fence maintenance. It’s difficult to say what I love most about my job especially since I am involved in so many fields however picking my brain with a good Wi-Fi fault is always looked forward to.
I was born in Uitenhage here in the Eastern Cape in 1997 and moved around a lot, including abroad for a few years with my family (consisting of my mother, father and older sister) but since I moved to Cape St Francis in 2016 I have never looked back. I am now engaged to Chantelle Van Vuuren from the clubhouse and we have a beautiful son who is turning two in July this year.
I’d like to end off with my favourite bible verse which was also my Dad’s favourite.
Psalm 91: I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely He will save you from the Fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
Thank you all for caring about your course

| | | | | | | | | Golf with a twist
Tee off without the tee box | | | | Tee boxes don’t have to be the rule. You can treat them like a suggestion. Is the carry from the tee box to the fairway too long? Then walk up to where the fairway starts and tee up from there. Even if carry isn’t an issue, you can tee up from wherever you like. | | | | “Golf doesn’t have to be confined to a 4-hour experience. If you’ve got an hour after work, doesn’t 9 holes of 70-metre golf sound like a much better option than jogging on tarmac or in a crowded gym? And you’ll still be able to spend the evening with your loved ones, or better yet, have them join you.” | | |  | | Throw out the scorecard | | Don’t restrict golf to an 18-hole, par-72, 4-hour experience. It can be so much more than that. You can choose how you want to enjoy golf each time you play. That may be a traditional format on one day and a 70-metre, 9-hole format on another day. Free yourself up to more ways of enjoying this great game. | | Let's chat > |
| | | If you’re looking for easier-to-hit irons that open scoring opportunities and make the game a lot more fun, you wouldn’t normally consider a short blade length and forged sound and feel. But the new Srixon ZX4 gives you the best of both worlds. | | Experience ZX4 now > |
