We have been focusing on our out of play areas over the last few weeks. The area right of the 17th hole on Firethorn has been completed. We spent last week on the natural koppie on the 10th hole and the back right of the 4th green on Firethorn. Over the years, invader plants, especially Chinese Privets, Syringa and Honey Locust have invaded these areas. Eventually, they will crowd out the natural indigenous vegetation in these koppies and we will lose this very important habitat on our golf course. There are some beautiful indigenous trees in these koppies dominated by White Stinkwood, there are also Wild Olives, Buffalo Thorns, Blue Guarri and Firethorns. We have removed the invader plants and used a herbicide that is painted onto the cut stump to make sure they don’t grow back. There is obviously a seed bank of invader trees and these areas will have to be managed to ensure that they don’t get taken over. Visually, these areas are now very open so finding an errant golf ball will be far easier although the recovery shot may not be.

We have also had some drainage issues on the 3rd hole on Bushwillow with a blockage on the left side of the fairway and water running through the sloot, this has been repaired. Fortunately, the sewage leak that we experienced last week on the 14th hole on Bushwillow was repaired quickly by the municipality.
Construction on the bridge on the 8th hole on Bushwillow is underway, the pilings are currently being installed. The new temporary tee is in play in front of the dam making it a very short par 3 of about 60 meters. It is still a tricky little hole with some precision and feel required with the tee shot.
