FROM THE

CHAIRMAN “We have a wonderful living environment and I hope that you and your families will be enjoying our Estate to the fullest.”

The adjourned Annual General Meeting of the Homeowners Association was held on the 26th of August, 2013 and there were approximately 120 Homeowners in attendance, either in person or by proxy. Although attendance was slightly better than the scheduled meeting, it is nevertheless a bit disappointing. The proposed Memorandum of Incorporation and the Rules were approved in the meeting. This is an important development, as it means that the Estate has sound governance documents in place, which are designed to protect the interests of all Homeowners. Homeowners have already received copies of these documents and they are also available on request in electronic format from the Homeowners Association. The meeting also approved the normal levy rates which will be effective from the 1st of March, 2014. For both full title and sectional title Homeowners, the levy will increase by 18.5%. However, as the two Special Security levies terminate in August 2013 and December 2013 respectively, the net effect is that the total levies to be paid will decrease by 13%. A comparison of our levies with other top end Estates around the country confirms that our rates are very much in line. All of the current board members made themselves available for re-election and were appointed. In addition, we are pleased to welcome to the board, three new members, Mrs. Michelle Horn, Pierro Grobler and Nick Wentzel. In the forthcoming year, the board will have

many issues to deal with, but a number of key projects that stand out are the possible acquisition of the roads and the rezoning of our entrance gates, the retirement village project and the clubhouse upgrade project. Homeowners will be kept well appraised and involved. The mild winter we have experienced is all but over and it will not be too long before the golf course and gardens around the Estate shed their winter coats and take on their spring colours. We have a wonderful living environment and I hope that you and your families will be enjoying our Estate to the fullest in the months ahead. Regards Graham Damp

There still seems to be a misconception with regards to the enforcement of the Woodhill rules, and I thought it appropriate to compile this document in an effort to change this misconception and offer more information on this matter. The issue regarding the enforcement of rules is always raised by owners at General Meetings, but I would like to stress that the issues raised are not with the majority of the rules, but with three in particular, namely: • Speeding on the Estate. • Children in Golf Carts. • Vandalism. I would first like to bring these three rules into perspective and then I will handle the balance of the rules in a summarised fashion. • Speeding: The Board and management have tried to address this problem in many ways, but residents still do not adhere to the speed limit and I do not have the answers on how this problem can be solved.

it. It has also previously been suggested that the use of golf carts after 20h00 at night be banned, so as to stop vandalism on the golf course which is supposedly being caused by children at night on golf carts. There were however different views on this.

Metro are not willing to assist us. We have placed electronic boards at the gates requesting everybody to adhere to the speed limit, 40kph signs have been placed on all the Woodhill roads, speed humps were introduced and more are being planned. Speed cameras were introduced but had to be discontinued, electronic boards indicating current speed have been introduced on a trial basis, but this has still not deterred the residents who flagrantly ignore the request to slow down. During July 2013 just after the sign was erected, in Woodhill Drive, the highest speed recorded was 90kmh. We do not know who the person was, but he or she will know who they are when reading this article. Nobody can state that the HOA are not trying to address this problem but there is not much more that can be done without the help of the Tshwane Metro. • Children on golf carts: This is also a problem that has been there since the inception of the Estate and all the previous boards have not been able to resolve the problem due to the fact that there are many different views on this matter and we need to attempt to keep everybody happy. There are residents who feel that children should be allowed to ride around on golf carts, as they feel that this is why they reside at Woodhill. There are however others who do not share the same view and it is for this reason that the current Board have proposed to have this rule amended at the AGM. There might be a different view at the AGM, but whichever option is approved, the HOA will be enforcing

• Vandalism: This is also an ongoing problem at Woodhill and there are also many views on how the problem should be addressed. I concur that the Board has to decide on what action needs to be taken against perpetrators that are caught, and it was for this reason that it has now been decided to introduce the involvement of the SAPS into the rules. Vandalism is not only a Woodhill problem, it is worldwide, and is very difficult to police. It must be stressed however that anyone caught vandalising property will be dealt with accordingly. As far as other rules are concerned I would like to highlight these and indicate what measures are in place. • Security rules: These rules are broad but all security related breaches are dealt with and fines are issued to transgressors. A few examples are: walking through the booms and not the turnstiles, picking up unregistered domestics or gardeners outside of the Estate, disturbance of the peace and abuse of security personnel. • Streetscape rules: These rules are monitored daily and are addressed on a daily basis. Fines are also issued if transgressions are not rectified within a specified time. Examples: Keeping pavements neat and tidy, caravans, wendy houses, trailers, boats, cement balls or obstructions on pavements. • Environmental rules: As with streetscape rules, these are monitored daily and action is taken against transgressors. Examples: no rubble, refuse or grass cuttings may be dumped or discarded. Flora may not be damaged or removed: a resident removed grass recently in Glendower Drive on the Golf Course, and had to replace the grass at their

own cost. Keeping your garden clean and manicured: the HOA from time to time has to cut grass, especially on rental properties that do not maintain their garden, the costs of which get added to the owners levy account. Refuse bags and bins may only be placed on pavements for removal but have to be removed within 8 hours. Residents have been fined for failing to comply. No fishing in the dams: This is one of the proposed rule changes, but currently people are stopped from fishing in the dams if observed. • Architectural standards: This is monitored daily and any deviations are dealt with accordingly. Penalty levies are imposed where the building period has been exceeded. Plans are approved weekly by the Estate architect for additions to properties. These additions are monitored to ensure they do not deviate from the approved plan. Recently Woodhill was awarded a Judgement with costs where an owner deviated from the approved plan. The owner was compelled to demolish the structure. • Pets: This is also an ongoing problem and residents are fined when they collect their stray pet at the contractor’s gate. Owners are also fined if there are constant complaints about their dogs barking. This matter is then handed over to the SPCA. The SPCA visits the Estate on a regular basis to catch stray cats. One rule which is also difficult to police is residents failing to pick up their pets’ excrement in public areas. • Estate Agent rules: These rules are monitored and enforced and there is regular contact with the Chairperson of the Woodhill Agents Committee. • Contractor activities: These are monitored daily and fines are issued for any transgressions. A summary of fines are included in the monthly management report at the Directors meetings. Harold Jooste

D I R E C TO R “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” It gives me great pleasure to be contributing to the first edition of the Woodhill Magazine. Many of you have no doubt spent part of the winter months pondering what is happening to the Estate’s publication. The good news is you no longer have to wonder. You hold in your hands a publication specifically designed to cater for the needs of the Woodhill residents. The content is tailored to support our focus and interests as an Estate and is uniquely designed to promote and capture the essence of the Woodhill brand and its personality. The new publication is in part the result of a lengthy review undertaken by the Directors of the HOA with the aim of ensuring that all of our marketing and communication activities underpin our drive towards remaining the ‘Estate of Choice’. Phoenix Creative Communication has spent a significant amount of time assessing the needs of the Estate from a communication

perspective and has also given consideration to our demographic and how we can fulfil our brand promise to owners and residents through our magazine. I am sure you will agree that they are certainly off to a good start and I would like to congratulate them on their efforts. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank the Woodhill marketing and communications team for the contributions they have made and the assistance they have given Phoenix Creative in getting off to a positive start. One of our key focus points going forward will be establishing platforms that allow residents to interact with news and developments, in and around the Estate, in a manner that suits you. To facilitate this we will be utilising a number of digital media platforms. Some of these platforms have already gone live. In addition, some of our existing electronic platforms have undergone a rejuvenation process. We trust that you will be happy with the results

– there are more changes coming on this front and we hope this will contribute to you being more informed about developments on the Estate. As always the marketing and communications team welcomes your input, please don’t hesitate to provide feedback, after all, our communication mediums exist for your benefit and we need to know if it is meeting your expectations. On a final note, as we enter into the spring season, I would like to wish everyone the very best for the remainder of the year. Use the new season to get going on some of the projects you have been dreaming about during the winter months, instead of delaying it until the new year. As Mae West succinctly put it, ‘You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough’. So make the most of the opportunities the new season brings. Best Regards Annelize Wepener

M A NAG E R

We have had numerous enquiries from residents with regards to service providers being used on the Estate. The HOA has now compiled a register of preferred service providers and residents can contact the HOA offices for their details. This allows residents the peace of mind that the suppliers have both creditable security clearance and contactable references. Courier companies and deliveries The Security control room periodically receives calls from residents who are expecting courier deliveries and enquiries on whether the courier company has been to the Estate. On many occasions the courier company is not certain of the address to which the delivery is to be made and security have turned them away at the entrance gates. This is not only

frustrating for the resident concerned, but also for the courier company who has to return to the Estate at a later stage. The HOA has therefore tried to streamline this process in the following way: Most of the companies delivering to Woodhill on a daily basis, deliver to a number of different properties on the Estate. The procedure regarding contacting the resident to inform them when a delivery arrives will remain unchanged, but in cases where there is uncertainty with regards to an address, the duty manager will try and establish the correct address, and if need be the courier company will be contacted telephonically to try and establish this information. In the case where the courier company has an address but is not certain where the address is on the Estate, a security reaction officer will escort the delivery to the particular address. With the approach of Spring, many residents may order trees, shrubs or lawn dressing for delivery. The HOA requests that residents should inform the HOA Operations Manager on 071 607 6290, if such a delivery is expected,

so that the necessary arrangements can be made with the dedicated personnel to assist with the delivery. On the HOAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekly inspections around the Estate, which includes gardens and buildings, refuse has been observed on pavements. Renovations are also being conducted at various properties around the Estate and the HOA would like to bring the following Rules to your attention: When there are materials that have been offloaded by a supplier on, or partly encroaching on the pavement or roadway, the materials must be moved onto the property site by the contractor as soon as possible. No material must be allowed to remain on the roadway or pavement and it is the contractor and ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility to clear the roadway of all such materials. The site is to be kept as free of building rubble as possible. Regards Werner Pretorius

LEGAL

D I R E C TO R An agent is a person who performs acts on behalf of another person and places the latter in a legal relationship with third parties. It is a personal contract and the relationship is a fiduciary one. It is for this reason that an agent must not conflict his/her interest with his/her duty and assume the position of a contracting party. Thus he/she cannot purchase the land of his/her principal even at a sale by public auction, unless the principal confirms or ratifies the purchase (Hargreaves v Anderson, 1915 A.D. 519; Osry v Hirsch Laubser & Co. Ltd., 1922 C.P.D. 531). The Deeds Registries Act 47 of 1937 (the “DRA”) does not permit the registration in favour of an agent of either transfers or servitudes (section 16, by implication) or bonds (section 54). MandatEs Generally all persons, provided they have capacity, can enter into the contract of agency. The following is a list of points affecting different mandates: • Executor and Trustee. Both a trustee and an executor can grant a power, special or general, but not an irrevocable power (Stowe v Royal Insurance Co., 5 E.D.C. (37)). In Alexander and Others v Opperman, 1952 (1) S.A. 609 (O),) it was held that where a trustee had delegated the exercise of his powers to a committee for a definite period he was at liberty to revoke the authority so granted before the expiry of such period. It is accepted that this applies to executors and trustees both testamentary and dative. An executor cannot, however, appoint an agent before the issue of letters of appointment to him (Stowe v Royal Insurance Co., 5 E.D.C. 37). The power must be granted in the capacity as executor or trustee and not in a personal capacity.

Agency and Powers of Attorney • Trustee in Insolvency. A trustee can grant a general power of attorney although this seems to have been questioned (Allan v Erlank’s Trustee, 1908 T.S. 1187). This would also be the position in regard to all types of insolvency, including the liquidation of a company.

• Juristic Persons. These must act through their officials having power to act in terms of the constitution. They may also, where their constitution permits, grant powers of attorney to officials or others to act as their agents.

• An Insolvent. He/she can grant a power only in so far as the Insolvency laws allow him/her (see Hamed v African Mutual Trust, 1930 A.D. 335).

• Partnerships. Regulation 34(2) of the DRA allows one partner to affix the firm’s signature in dealing with firm property so long as the firm consists of the same partners. In other cases, all partners must sign.

• Lunatic. This depends on his/her state of mind at the time of granting the power (Pheasant v Warne, 1922 A.D. 481). Since there is no status of insanity, the grantee of a power of attorney where the grantor was insane is entitled to continue to act under it but should, of course, exercise care perhaps slightly higher in degree than ordinarily.

Agents Any person of sufficient understanding can act as an agent, but an agent is liable only in so far as he/she him/herself has capacity. There can be joint agents but all must sign documents.

• Person not in Existence. Under the common law an agent cannot act for a person not yet in existence (McCullogh v Fernwood Ests. Ltd., 1920 A.D. 204 at p. 207; Peak Lode Gold Mining Co. Ltd. v Union Government, 1932 T.P.D. 48 at pp. 50 51; Semer v Retief & Berman, 1948 (1) S.A 182 (C). • Guardian of a Minor. It is accepted that a guardian can grant power on behalf of the minor (see Ex parte Bullard et Uxor, 1937 T.P.D. 297), but the agent would have no greater powers than the guardian and would have to comply with any formalities regarding the alienation of the minor’s property. • Minor. A minor can grant a power with his guardian’s consent but this would be valueless as the guardian must act on behalf of the minor except in regard to antenuptial contracts, when he assists.

• Minors. Minors can act as agents but the consent of the parent or guardian is required to the minor entering into the contract. • Woman Married in Community. A Woman married in community of property can act as an agent. • Lunatics. They can act in so far as they understand the transaction (Pienaar v Pienaar’s Curator, 1930 O.P.D. 171, at p. 174), since there is no status of insanity. • Insolvent. If it does not amount to trading, there seems to be no reason against an insolvent acting as an agent (see McKenzie v Flight, 1922 T.P.D. 407). In this case a sub agent’s Estate was sequestrated and he obtained his trustee’s consent to trade. It was held that the insolvency did not affect his agency and having obtained the leave

of his trustee to trade, he was entitled to earn his commission for himself. If the contract of agency amounts to trading, he must obtain the written consent from his trustee (section 23(3) of Act 24 of 1936). • Juristic Persons. It is the practice to allow these to act as agents but a nominee would have to be appointed. The constitution must give the body power to act as an agent. • Partnership. A partnership is not a legal persona and cannot be itself appointed. The partners can be but the agency would lapse on dissolution of the partnership unless the power clearly indicates that the partners as individuals are also appointed. Proof of Agency Agency is generally proved by a power of attorney either special or general. The Registrar has power under section 4(1)(a) to call for proof of agency and under regulation 65(1) the original power of attorney must be filed. Original powers need not be filed where a copy is issued by another Registrar (regulation 65(6) or by a Registrar or a Master of the High Court, (regulation 65(10)). With regard to notarial deeds, it is still accepted, although the Act makes no distinction, that the Registrar cannot query the authority of any agent appearing before a notary, as this is the responsibility of the notary (Transvaal Land Co. v Registrar of Deeds, 1909 T.S. 759; Ex parte Bullard et Uxor, 1937 T.P.D. 297) except in cases where the principal has exceeded his/her authority, for example where a guardian has granted a long lease without the sanction of the Court (Breytenbach v Frankel and Another, 1913 A.D. 390). The power of attorney itself is filed in the notaries’ protocol. Registration of Powers of Attorney and the Formalities: Section 3(u) makes provision for registration of three types of powers: • General powers of attorney.

• Powers of attorney to carry out a series of transactions, for example where A appoints B to sell erven in a township and transfer them. • Copies of the two above issued for use in a registry by another Registrar under regulation 65(6) to (9). Special powers of attorney which lapse on the completion of a single act, for example, powers of attorney to transfer, are not registered. The following are formalities regarding powers of attorney: • Preparation Clause: Must be prepared by a conveyancer, alternatively by a notary or attorney and countersigned by a conveyancer (regulation 44). • Names and Identification. Full names must be given (regulation 24(1)) and no alias is permitted (regulation 24(2)). Status and identity must, where necessary, be disclosed (section 17(1) and regulations 18 and 24(1) of the DRA. • Execution. The grantor signs his/her usual signature at the bottom of the right hand side of the last page. The following have been held to constitute a signature: mark (Re le Roux, 3 S.C. 56). If the person is blind or deaf or dumb then precautions such as a certificate by a notary or a commissioner of oaths should be observed. Where there is doubt as to the validity of the signature, a Registrar can ask the Court for confirmation (In re C. Morck, 22 N.L.R. 258). The date and place of execution must be disclosed, the latter defined sufficiently to indicate that no authentication is required (regulation 65(2)), that is that the contract was not executed outside the Republic of South Africa.

the peace, notary public or Commissioner of Oaths. (It is difficult to understand why the first three categories are mentioned since they are all commissioners of oaths ex officio). Powers of attorney executed outside the Republic merely have to be authenticated in accordance with the rules of authentication and additional witnesses are unnecessary. This section is directory only (Sutter v Scheepers, 1932 A.D. 165 at p. 174), but the Registrar is entitled to refuse to act on a power which ex facie the document does not meet the requirements of the section. Generally all witnesses are presumed competent until the contrary is proved (Ramsamy v de Chazal, 35 N.L.R. 171 at p. 175). The following are incompetent witnesses to a power of attorney: • The Agent • A person deriving a benefit. Thus where witnesses were holders of a bond cancelled simultaneously with transfer the power of attorney to pass transfer was held not to have been validly witnessed (Ex parte Gordon, 1927 C.P.D. 314). It is accepted that a person who receives an indirect benefit only, for example the preparing conveyancer or a partner of the agent can attest. The benefit must be apparent from the document itself. Allen West

• Witnesses. Section 95(1) provides that powers of attorney executed in the Republic shall be attested either by two witnesses of more than fourteen years of age who are competent to give evidence in a Court of law, or by a magistrate, justice of

Giggles the clown entertained the kids with face painting and balloon sculpturing and the candy store from Laughing Ladybirds was a huge hit. Patio Warehouse was the sponsor of the evening and displayed their beautiful, outdoor furniture outside the club house. More fun was enjoyed with Andrew amusing the crowds with live entertainment till late into the evening. The 1st draw for the amount of R18 000-00 was for member, JC Watson who was not present.

SAVE THE DATE and BOOK A TABLE 14 November 2013 Whether you’re a 80s or 90s fan, you are bound to get rocked! Experience old school nostalgia, dance till you drop and sing out loud and proud for the decade you love the most! Eighties and Nineties pop culture is rampant in our lives today, but when it comes to music which decade was the best? Eighties music was defined by big hair bands, heavy metal and new wave music. There were many great music figures that were born out of this decade such as Tina Turner, Madonna, Dire Straits, Michael Jackson (who released “Thriller” in 1982) and Bruce Springsteen who released Born in the USA in 1985 which became one of the best-selling albums of all time. MTV became the world’s first music channel and popularised music videos

with pop groups like Eurythmics, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Alphaville, The Human League and Tears for Fears. Rock groups also made their mark in the eighties, think Bon Jovi, Journey, INXS, Guns N’ Roses and Toto. The nineties saw the emergence of hip hop music with artists like Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer and the reggae giant UB40 who continued their dominance throughout the decade. Grunge and alternative music gave us 90s bands Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Counting Crows, Oasis, REM and Crash Test Dummies.

The 90s also focused on pop music with artists like Spice Girls, Britney Spears, Robbie Williams and the Backstreet Boys. Some of the greatest female icons emerged in the 90s including Alanis Morissette, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Shania Twain. The challenge is on, may the best decade win! 80s vs. 90s is a hip, fun and trendy show that features the best of 2 decades colliding into one awesome show.

Champagne and Celebrations for Valerie Ehlers 80th Birthday Valerie and her husband Leon are home owners at Woodhill and have been living on their favourite Estate for the past 10 years. Her son worked for the developers when the Estate started flourishing and suggested that they purchase a stand on the Estate. He saw the beauty and value of Woodhill and wanted his parents to live and retire at this magical place. Valerie’s husband designed the plans for their dream house, which they called their perfect home for many happy years.

Valerie loves Woodhill for an array of reasons. She explains she has the friendliest and most caring neighbours and that she has made some really great friends while living on the Estate. When Valerie recently turned eighty-years-old, her friends threw her a surprise breakfast, which she greatly enjoyed. The Woodhill Ladies Committee also joined in on her birthday festivities and treated her to champagne at the clubhouse, marking the special occasion.

Many residents will recognise Valerie as she walks her beloved dog Donna twice a day on the Estate. Valerie also admits that Donna has to be the most loved and spoiled dog in the whole of Pretoria. Valerie sets a great example as she is one of the only residents who picks up her dog’s indiscretions when taking her for a walk. When asked why she adheres to this rule, she jokingly replies, ‘’I can’t bear the thought of a golfer hitting a shit shot!’’

S P R I NG A F R I CA Spring has to be the best season. In many parts of South Africa the rain washes away the remaining cold of winter with the air warming up, as well as bursting with the sweetest scents of blossoming flowers. With spring right around the corner, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to explore three destinations that really come alive with specific and unique beauty. Enjoy spring and adventure with these locations across our lovely country.

Namaqualand Flower Extravaganza The magnificent area of Namaqualand is known for its spring flowers throughout the world. During the winter months the terrain is quite dry but as soon as the earth is replenished with water, the landscape is inundated with so many flowers that it looks just like a carpet of exquisitely, coloured petals. Hundreds of different species of flowers create an incredibly eclectic mix of splendour. The end of August and September are the best times to travel to Namaqualand with an enjoyable drive through characteristic towns and an everchanging terrain. Two great places to visit are the Goegap Nature Reserve near Springbok and Skilpad Wildflower Reserve at Kamieskroon. Namaqualand and namely Sutherland is also known for its sparkling, African skies and stargazing. Just 1km outside of Sutherland you can find the Sterland Caravan Park, where the Sterland Show will delight you with a celestial show.

Bela Bela; sun, fun and wildlife Bela Bela has become a popular tourist destination over the years and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place to experience in the spring time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a short drive from Gauteng; only about an hour, which is perfect for families not wanting to travel far. The weather is great as it can get relatively hot in summer, so spring is just right. One of the main attractions is the natural hot springs, as well as Warmbaths, which cater for children and adults. There are numerous warm pools and slides that provide endless hours of fun in the not-too harsh spring sun. The area of Bela Bela also boasts a world renowned hydro and many luxurious spas, where one can completely unwind and relax in a tranquil environment. If looking for a bush and Big 5 experience; Bela Bela is perfect. The Zebula Golf Estate and Spa located in Bela Bela is the perfect amalgamation of enjoyable activities. It offers various wildlife activities, including safaris and elephant back adventures, as well as a top class spa. Did we mention the 72 par, Peter Matkovich designer golf course surrounded by the lush, African

bush? Spring is a great time to experience the bushveld, as it comes alive with vegetation and the previously dry waterholes fill up and more wildlife can be seen.

The Cape Peninsula; majestic Mother Nature The Cape Peninsula can be a gorgeous but tempestuous place in the winter months. Although it has its unique attributes and attractions in winter, spring really is a wonderful time to visit the Cape Peninsula. Because rainfall happens predominantly in winter, you will find little to no rain during your visit and warm, balmy weather. For the more active explorers, the Table Mountain Nature Reserve and area around Cape

28 W

TRAVEL TO

Point provides spectacular hikes with some of the most sought-after views of the big, blue ocean. One of the most popular hiking trails is the Shipwreck trail, where one can bask in the traditional fauna and flora and visit the beach where the Thomas T Tucker shipwreck is located. The unspoilt nature provides a magnificent playground and if going in early spring, one might even have the chance of sighting magnificent, Southern

Right Whales, as this is the time they come to the area to mate. Boulders Beach is home to a colony of 3 000 African Penguins; an amazing experience for children. Our country shines and awes no matter what the season but with the special season of spring just around the corner and with the September school holidays, these are just a few great destinations to enjoy and explore. Enjoy the adventure.

Golfing Greetings All Winter? What winter? This year we have been really fortunate with such warm conditions for playing golf and I can tell because we still have 36 out of 40 beanies still in stock! The golf course has stayed green throughout the months and although the greens roll fast and true, a good putt is always rewarded at Woodhill. Woodhill Country Club proudly hosted the inaugural Gauteng North PGA Championship on the 5th and 6th of August. Day one was a Pro-am where we invited corporates to join the Pro’s from our region on the golf course and, as one expects, the day was full of fun as the field of 54 teed off on a tough test.

The Pro-am ended with a Prize giving dinner where the team winners were rewarded for their efforts with a bottle or two of delicious Ernie Els wine and some lovely prizes from Taylormade Golf. Day 2 saw the Pro’s battle it out for the R20 000.00 prize money on offer and I am proud to mention that the Woodhill Pro’s finished in 1st, 2nd and 3rd, namely myself 71, 68, Morne Botha 73, 69 and Johan Van Vuuren 72, 71.

The Castle Light Challenge is gaining momentum and this monthly competition allows both first and second place winners on the day to play in the Shoot Out finals in November. Remember this is for members only and make sure you buy a few Castle Lights after your game to refresh your memories of your great shots. Our main prize for the lucky winner is soon to be announced so watch this space!

The 3rd Winter Club Champs proudly sponsored by Afri Group was held on Saturday the 17th of August. We gladly thank our loyal sponsors Henk Du Toit and his son Hein from Afri Group for making the event possible.

See you soon on the course! Yours in Golf, Paul Marks

F RO M T H E T E E TO THE GREEN C LU B M A NAG E R As many of you can see from the condition and happenings on the golf course, our green keeper and his staff are progressing well with the annual spring treatments. Once the rains come, a dramatic change will take place as the dreary colours of winter are replaced with nature’s vibrant, summer tones. We are confident that the course will once again compliment all of the stunning homes and gardens of this beautiful Estate of ours and we will continue to be the envy of other Estates. As you may or may not know, after lengthy deliberation and a feasibility study, WCC has decided to take the banqueting and conferencing functions in-house, to leave

our catering partners to focus on their core business of delivering food and beverage services. This was done from the 1st of June this year and albeit that June and July were slow, we have shown more and more success and our bookings for conferencing and banqueting have escalated dramatically; the future in this regard is looking very promising. Our current caterers, Kingdom Caterers, have informed us that they will not be renewing their contract, which comes to an end in the middle of November. WCC, in conjunction with the Board of Directors, are busy with the process of assessing potential new catering business partners for the new model. We have some very good applicants and we are confident that our new partners will have the necessary attributes and skills to attract more of the Homeowners into making more frequent

use of our facilities. Our new lounge furniture has arrived and our new bar chairs will be in place shortly. As we move towards the warmer temperatures and the end of the year, our bookings for golf and functions look very good and we anticipate an increase in “traffic” through the golf course and our clubhouse. We invite the Homeowners to come down and make use of our facilities, even if it’s just to sit serenely on the patio and admire the beautiful view of the Estate, or maybe to have a sun-downer or light snack. Put us to the test! We would love to have you use the facilities more often and provide us with feedback on Golf Course Report for the Woodhill Magazine what you would like us to do for you. We look Winters in Gauteng are never mild and for us on the golf course is it definitely not our favorite time to to meeting all atlayers theof Club. the forward year, as we need wrap up and you wear several clothing when we go out onto the go

course at 6h00 am in the mornings and even earlier over weekends. Unlike other winters, this one w not as cold and we did not record temps as low as we did in the past. The lowest temps that we recorded were 1,5 degree Celsius, even though we had quite heavy frost on a couple of days. Temps a quickly rising and we even received some rain which is very early for this time of the year. I thi everyone should be excited that the weather is changing for the better, especially if one takes in consideration that we still received snow on the 6th of August last year.

Regards Mark Bruyns

On Monday the 12th of August will we start with our spring treatment when we start to scarify all rou areas as well as greens and tee surrounds. Top dressing of greens surrounds will follow soon aft scarifying has taken place. We might only do some of the fairways due to budget restrictions and w concentrate on the ones that are like most of the green surrounds, infected with Kikuyu patch. This is fungus that attacks the Kikuyu grass every year during winter months and becomes more visible as t season progresses towards spring. The disease was first noticed about 6 years ago and has sin become a huge headache for us on the golf course. We are not the only course that struggles with it, there are other courses that have the same problem. The only problem with the disease is that there no cure for it that causes it to just come back stronger every year. There are suppliers working o chemicals to try and cure the disease and we have also used some of these products, without a success.

GREENSKEEPER Winters in Gauteng are never mild and for us on the golf course, it is definitely not our favorite time of the year. We need to wrap up warm and wear several layers of clothing when we go out onto the golf course at 6h00 am in the mornings and even earlier sometimes over the weekends. Unlike other winters, this one was not as cold as we anticipated. The lowest temperatures recorded were 1,5 degree Celsius, even though we had quite heavy frost on a couple of days.

a fungus that attacks the Kikuyu grass every year during the winter months and becomes more visible as the season progresses towards spring. The disease was first noticed about 6 years ago and has since become a huge headache for us on the golf course. The main problem with the disease is that there is no cure for what causes it and it just comes back stronger every year. There are suppliers working on chemicals to try and cure the disease and we have also used some of these products, without any success. In years that have past we have learnt that the only way to get the grass to recover is by top dressing the patch with a mixture of topsoil and kraalmanure and the application of a fertiliser that is high in nitrogen. This normally helps the plant to recover quickly, as it grows vigorously, but it never cures it and next year we will be faced with the same challenge, until such time that someone can supply us with a suitable fungicide. Hollowing of the greens took place from the 9th to the 12th September. This

process enabled us to reduce compaction, get gasses from organic build up to release out of the soil, de-thatching and introducing of new growing medium to the soil profile, that also helps with the de-thatching of the putting surface. Taking care of compaction also helps us to get water to infiltrate successfully into the root zone of the plant. Spring treatment is always a dusty exercise, especially at this time of the year when we haven’t received proper rains. We ask all golfers and Homeowners to please bear with us, as all of this will be worthwhile once the course is in the optimum condition, during summer months. For those of you that are golfers, happy golfing and to the rest of you, happy gardening.

LADIES

O P E N 15 AUGUST This year’s Women’s Day was a very special celebration, which was held at Woodhill for the Estate’s ladies to enjoy. We had 120 ladies attend the event, which sported a fun ladies tea party theme. Each lady brought a tea cup, which was put into a box and placed on tables in the venue. Each lady then selected someone else’s cup, used it for the event and then took it home with them as a remembrance of the day. The celebrations were kicked off with a round of golf, with the course decorated in our spirited, ladies pink flags and cups, which were supplied by our amazing green keeper Frikkie. Up for grabs was a spectacular Mercedes Benz C Class for a hole in one on the 12th hole, which was sponsored by Mercedes Benz Menlyn. A special thanks to Kathy Fitzhenry from Mercedes Benz for making this day even more exceptional for all the ladies involved. The venue and tables were tastefully decorated and lined with decedent cakes and colourful flowers by Lizette Van Der Merwe. The food was delicious and the atmosphere electric with our two visiting US PGA Pro’s; Paulina Creamer and Monet Gilbus, who visited us at Woodhill and held a special Golf Clinic for all of the ladies. They were amazing and we had a wonderful time with them! So, once again, Woodhill celebrated Women’s Day in absolute style! Thank you to all of the people who helped make this day one to remember!

WO O D H I L L

YO U N G G O L F E R S Here at Woodhill, we take great pride in the accolades and achievements of our younger golf players on the Estate. As a fierce golfing community, and with our own awarded golf course, we would like to congratulate our own golfing superstars on their victories.

Catherine Lau Crowned Rose Bowl Champion Woodhill’s 12-year-old Catherine Lau’s story of victory is a triumphant one. She battled her way through wet and windy conditions at the Selborne Golf Club, to emerge victorious in the SA Nomads Rose Bowl 54-Hole Girls Championship. Earlier rounds of 69 and 76 left Lau in a tie for third with Centurion’s Magda Kruger, one shot behind Ji Sun Kang from Atlantic Beach and two shots adrift of overnight leader and defending champion Kelly Erasmus. Lau had set the clubhouse target at five-over-par 221 with her final round 76. She had an anxious wait in the clubhouse to see if one of the other three leading players would match or beat her score. The Woodhill golfer was sure that she had spoiled her chances after bogeys at holes 10, 14, 15, 16 and a double at 17. However it became apparent that Lau was still in the chase for the title when the other contenders faced the same difficulties in regards to the challenging weather conditions.

Erasmus from Durbanville dropped out of contention after a triple bogey at the ninth, but Kruger and Kang tuned in level par and could still challenge for glory. Kruger then fell out of the title with a double bogey at 13 and three successive bogeys at 14, 15 and 16. Victory was handed to Lau when she dropped two shots at the closing parfour 18. Lau’s podium victory has been coming for a few years now although the Woodhill golfer was more surprised than anyone to win the prestigious junior title. Over the years, Lau has mainly played in Little Kids Golf tournaments winning both the US Kids World Championships at the age of eight and for the last two years, she placed fourth in the World Championships. This year, Lau finished third at the HSBC China Junior Open in January, was crowned the Woodhill Junior Club Champion and came second in the Pecanwood College High School Championship in February. Lau also

won best net in the Woodhill Ladies Club Championship at her home course and placed second in the gross competition.

De Lange Snatches Victory at Kempton Park Keegan de Lange claimed the second of four Nomads-sponsored SA Junior National Order of Merit events when he held off local favourite Jason Froneman and in-form Thriston Lawrence for a one-shot victory at Kempton Park Golf Club.

Zander Lombard Wins in Namibia The 54-hole Bank Windhoek Namibia Open, played at the Windhoek Golf and Country Club, was a curtain-raiser for the South African team to prepare for the annual Africa Zone V1 Golf Championship team event. Woodhill’s Zander Lombard, the country’s second ranked player, edged out countryman Louis Taylor in a play-off to lift the overall title, while Taylor and compatriots Gerlou Roux, Tertius van der Berg and Andrew Light all won individual prizes. Lombard and Taylor both came from behind in the final round to tie at 211 in regulation play.

Taylor had the chance to win the event at the first extra hole but rushed a six-foot putt past the hole. Lombard was victorious when his approach shot at the 18th hole pitched 10feet behind the pin and spun back to a couple of inches. Taylor, the third ranked player in the South African Golf Association rankings, won overall Runner-up Gross Division on 211. Roux won the A-Division Runner up net on 218, Van den Berg the A-Division RunnerUp Gross on 212 and Light, the A-Division Winner Gross on 212.

GOLF COURSE

R E V I E W Q&A

with Gert Scheepers: WOODHILL COUNTRY CLUB

Our Woodhill Golf Course has received praises and accolades from a handful of accountable individuals. However, many of our residents that either don’t play golf, or may play golf on other courses, might not know our course very well. Here is an interview that was conducted with Gert Scheepers, the General Manager of the ICC, which provides some insight into the playability, challenges and unique attributes one can look forward to when taking on the course.

1. Q: What do you think is the best attribute of the golf course? A: Its best attributes are the location, natural water resources and the panoramic view of Pretoria at the par 3, 7th tee box. 2. Q: What makes it unique, with regards to other courses that you have played? A: It’s unique as it’s one of the only golf courses that looks superb well into winter. 3. Q: What do you appreciate about the design of the golf course? A: I think the Woodhill course rewards good golf shots and punishes the bad shots, however, a good shot can still be punished by an obstacle making it even more exciting. 4. Q: How would you best describe its aesthetic surroundings? A: The natural water resources contribute to making it a visually appealing and characteristic golf course. 5. Q: In terms of difficulty, how would you rate the golf course and what level of player is it best suited for? A: The course offers something for all levels of play, however,

42 W

SPORTS AND LEISURE

I don’t feel that the lower handicaps are always challenged enough by the course. 6. Q: In your opinion, which hole is the most challenging and why? Please also make reference to challenging fairways, greens and bunkers etc. A: The 5th Hole is the most challenging because of the blind shot into the green. If you are behind the little rise and if you are a high handicap player, even if you hit a good shot, you simply don’t have enough loft in your bag to clear the little hill and reach the green, let alone shape it around it. Most of the time I normally layup. 7. Q: What was your favourite hole to play and why? A: The 7th hole. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but this is normally where the 1st nine really takes off. 8. Q: What is the course better for, short game or long game? A: Long game. 9. Q: What was your selection of golf clubs for this particular course and why? A: A driver 3 wood off the tee and 7 iron approach shot.

10. Q: What is the course like in terms of hazards? A: I think there could be a bunker added on par 4 next to the cluster of trees for the long hitters, and a trap in front of the 5th green for the lower handicaps to make them think twice about the shot. 11. Q: What would you class as a good score for the course? A: I would say 3 below handicap. 12. Q: How can you best describe your experience at the Woodhill Golf Course? A: It is a golf course that I always look forward to playing and am proud to take my friends or business associates to experience it too. Thank you Gert Scheepers for your valuable contribution and on going support of the Woodhill Estate Golfing fraternity.

LANDSCAPING

O N T H E ESTATE Johan Prinsloo

From the Garden Side of Woodhill As the main landscaper for Woodhill Estate, our goal is to upgrade the standards of the gardens and get them looking beautiful. At the moment we are focusing on removing all of the older plants that have started to look a bit wilted and replace them with plants that already exist in the gardens for various reasons. Also, as you might have noticed, some of the gardens within the Estate’s landscaping have been improved by adding bursts of colour and for this we used attractive plants such as Gazanias and Crassulas. If you use several plants of the same species it often gives a unified look to a garden, as opposed to using different species, which can make a garden look a tad disorganised. Using natural stone or bark chips will add character to any garden and will make it that much more visually appealing. Using compost and fertiliser regularly enhances the plants growth and it’s sure to flourish. Top Gardner’s Tip - Ensure that all the weeds are taken out of the grass areas, most of

the weeds are darker than the grass during winter so they are easier to spot. There are two ways to remove them, either by hand or by using a weed killer called ‘Super Lawn Weeder’.

3F L O W E R S BLOOMING

For the avid flower enthusiast, a bouquet of freshly cut, aromatic flowers is always welcomed. For special occasions, flowers have been given for years and each flower in its own magnificent right has a particular meaning. Flowers offer an aesthetic pleasure for the eyes and a sensation for the nose. Their allure is further enhanced by their frail demeanour which only lasts a few days. In recent years, flowers have become increasingly expensive but nothing comes close to these three flowers, the most expensive in the world.

1. The Gold of Kinabalu Orchid

2. The Shenzhen Nongke Orchid

3. Kadupul Flower

The elegant orchid has made a comeback with many people opting to purchase this beautiful flower as a gift. However, the Gold of Kinabalu Orchid is the rarest orchid in the world with a price tag of R40 000 a flower to boot! This species of orchid can only be found in a desolate, fenced off area in the Kinabalu National Park in Malaysia and best the special occasion falls between April and May as this is the only time of year that they bloom.

The Shenzhen Nongke Orchid, astoundingly enough is even more expensive then the last flower. This species of Orchid is completely man-made but really is an amazing sight. The orchid was created during the eight years of research conducted by the Shenzhen Nongke Group in China in agricultural science. This magnificent, Frankenstein flower was sold at an auction for a whopping R2 million. The elusive Shenzhen Nongke Orchid remains the most expensive flower ever sold.

Although the Kadupul Flower has never been sold for a specified amount of money, it makes the top of our list because it really is priceless. No amount of money could ever buy this extraordinary bloom as it is so rare and so fragile that it lives for only a few hours, and then dies. Found in Sri Lanka, even the locals seldom see this delicate flower bloom. The Kadupul Flower blossoms just before midnight and dies before dawn and no one has ever been able to remove the flower.

BIRDS RETURN

The Woodhill Estate has become a home and playground for various bird species and many of our residents have become passionate about their sightings. There have been 141 different bird species sighted on the Estate to date. Many birds take an epic journey around the world to search for a climate suited to their needs but what makes them take such an extensive trip? There are many differing factors that influence this grand migration. Migration relates to the seasonal movement from a breeding area to a non-breeding one, and it is essential for the survival of the species. Just some of the prominent factors that influence a bird’s instinct to migrate are: • The angle of the sun’s rays • Extreme weather conditions • Length of a day • Shortages of resources • Competition Many birds that take extremely long journeys need to build up fat reserves. Certain birds will even double their body weight for their

It’s getting to that enjoyable time of the year, when birding enthusiasts can expect the familiar return of migratory bird species to the Estate. migration. To try and contemplate the lengths of these journeys, a migration distance of around 10 000km is not unusual. The longest roundtrip is when the Artic Tern flies a staggering 50 000km. Most migrating birds fly at an altitude of around less than 3000 feet but some pilots have reported seeing birds flying as high as 26 000 feet. Woodhill boasts a fertile and consistent food supply that is attractive to returning bird species of the area. It additionally offers extensive vegetation and trees, which are important for nesting sites. The most recent sighting on the Estate was the Greater Honeyguide. Honeyguides are small to medium arboreal birds described as having brownish and greenish plumage, with distinct white outer-tail markings. The majority of Greater Honeyguides are yearlong residents with only some minimal local movement recorded. Keep an eye open for the Greater Honeyguide, as well as the various other bird species that will be returning home.

Hello Woodhill Birders. On 6 August I first heard, and then saw, a greater Honeyguide at our home in Woodhill Greens. Unfortunately I did not manage to get a photograph of it. I added it to our bird list, we now stand at 141 species. If residents report new sightings I would very much like to hear from them so as to keep our list up to date. Kind regards, Connie Marais We would love to showcase the wonderfull bird population in this feature.

Owned by a passionate father and son duo, Ritrovo really does offer an enthralling journey for the senses and a delight for the avid lover of fine, Italian food.

Quality, family time is priceless. In the modern world we live in, time and unique experiences are sought-after commodities.

Just a short drive from Gauteng, the Lion Park offers an authentic African, wildlife experience, where one can really get up close and personal with an array of wild animals. One of the main attractions; Cub World, offers a once in a lifetime encounter with lion cubs.

lovely creatures. There are also wild dog and cheetah cub enclosures, as well as a resident baby giraffe, which is always curious about visitors. The Lion Park is home to an array of buck, as well as giraffes, that are friendly and can be seen roaming through the areas of the park. Visitors have the chance to feel what the tongue of a giraffe feels like, while stroking and feeding them their treats on a raised platform. Onto the main attraction of the Lion Park; the carnivore and predator camp. The park offers visitors the opportunity to come into close contact with over 80 lions, including the endangered White Lion. One of the Lion Park’s male White Lions was used in the awarded documentary “White Lion”. Other magnificent predators include

leopards, black leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, caracals and spotted hyenas. Even more amazing, the Lion Park offers a cheetah walk; a one hour side-by-side walk with this graceful creature. Their resident cheetah Shitana is calm and friendly; just try to keep up with the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest land animal. The Lion Park has, for a long time, offered self-drives through the park with access to all it has to offer. For the more educational experience, guided game drives are also available, with its recent guided night drive presenting an enthralling journey experiencing the animals and namely the lions when they are most active. Enjoy a comprehensive game drive under the velvet, African sky and watch the lions in action, while they kick up the dust and all try to dominate a piece of meat during feeding time.

For those wanting to extend the experience a little longer, the Lion Park offers traditional and characteristic tented camps, which are tastefully decorated with a great outside patio and dining area. What a great adventure; tented camps close to home, with the sound

of lion’s roaring while you relax under the stars and contemplate the African day you have appreciated with your family. Voted by Newsweek as one of the top 100 tourist destinations in the world, there is no greater place for wildlife in Gauteng.

INVESTMENT The psychology of property pricing Sellers naturally want the best price they can get for their property, and often ask for unrealistic prices in the hope that they will get as close to the mark as possible. However, they may be doing themselves a grave injustice. Rosa Willers, a Property Consultant for Seeff, has been involved in marketing and selling high-end residential real estate for a number of years. She has some insight into the psychology of pricing and the perception of property value and with the use of William Poundstoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, delves deeper into this subject. William Poundstone, the author of a book titled Priceless: The Myth of Fair Value, investigates the hidden psychology of property value. The author takes you on

a detailed journey of research into the behavioural decision theory. It is a place where psychology and economics interact and he demonstrates how pricing of everything, and anything, directly affects the relative value we ascribe to it. The thesis of this research is that we really do not ever understand the absolute pricing of anything, real estate included, but only the relative price of goods, a service, or product, or home, relative to other comparables. The book has two chapters on real estate and poses an interesting question to ask your real estate agent, assuming that he or she is impeccably honest. What would you price my home at, if it was your own?

What is the realistic pricing in any given market? This is always relative to other similar properties, and if the property is truly unique, which is quite often not the case, the comparison offers value for money. The two measures of pricing realism for residential properties are (1) the average time on the market; and (2) the percentage of properties sold at less than their asking price. For the four quarters up until the first quarter of 2013, the average estimated time that homes for sale spend on the market, as measured by FNB, for the lower and middle income segment, was nationally 13.6 weeks and 14.5 weeks respectively.

65 W

The upper income and high net worth segments recorded 17.8 weeks and 19.6 weeks respectively. The percentage of properties sold at less than their asking price across these four categories is currently on 84%. These figures indicate rampant overpricing of a low level of price realism, which is more pronounced at the higher price end of the spectrum.

short, list your home at the market value, that the market is willing to pay for a property in your area, and you will not only get the best price but also in the shortest possible time. Rosa Willers Chairperson of Woodhill Approved Agents

What matters most is not the absolute price of anything but only the relative pric, and the pricing of anything directly affects the value we associate with it. Overpriced properties make other similar properties seem like excellent value and therefore help estate agents sell the other property. Properties that have been significantly discounted relative to their original asking price also create a sense of value at the revised pricing, which often results in a sale. Does time on the market affect the Selling Price of my home? Yes, it does – in
