Firstly, congratulations to all the winners from the competitions this past week. I want to make special mention of Ian Ross, who was the winner of the Individual Stableford competition for The Dave Clark Cup. Ian Ross aged 80, shot a gross score of 79 (one under his age) for a score of net 65 equal to 42 points. Congratulations, Ian!
for you. Lastly, I want to plead with all golfers playing at Hermanus Golf Club: when you play, please make sure that you fill your divots and repair your pitch marks. This seems to be an ongoing issue and I request that everyone assists us in solving this problem. Happy golfing, see you at the club.
I want to remind all the members about the 2020 edition of our Club Championships. The Club Championships will be played on the weekend of 29 February to 1 March. There is an entry list on the notice board at the club. Please add your names if you are interested in playing in this event. Then I would also like to make everyone aware that we will be hosting the Boland Senior Open on Sunday and Monday, 23 & 24 February. This might impact your usual scheduled games, so please contact the club if this is the case so that we can make arrangements
