Rossmund Golf News

First and foremost on behalf of the committee I wish each and everyone a very Happy New Year and all the very best for 2019.

The course was very busy over the festive season – with lots of feet and wheels pounding down the fairways. I think we can safely say it has stood the test well and we still have our beautiful course to enjoy. Some of you will say the back nine is very dry and the fairways on the front nine are too long – but let us give the maintenance crew a chance to get back into the swing of things.

Saturday 12 January
The first sponsored competition for 2019 was held on Saturday 12 January and on the tee was as always Malherbe Law represented by Nadine – strange format Scramble Betterball Medal – some enjoyed the scramble drive whilst others were heard to comment “not real golf” – however a great day was enjoyed by all with beautiful weather and some great laughs.
There was a three-way count out on 62 pts to determine the winners:
1st Place went to Gerhard Byleveld/Gert Breedt
2nd place going to Steven Massipa/Helmut Ndjen-dja followed by Tienie van Rensburg/John Horne.

Coming Events:
Saturday 19 January will be the Monthly Medal sponsored by Novanam.
Sunday 20 January – SAGES sponsored by Swakop Plaza Hotel.
Saturday 26 January we will play a Bogey Plus sponsored by the Club – whilst the Walvis Bay Open will be played on the other side of the river.
Wednesday competitions will commence on the 30 January – I am still looking for a few sponsors.
The AGM will take place on 30 January at 18h00
Nomination Forms need to be completed and reach the current committee by 28 January @ 18h00.
