Pump Station
I am very excited to report that our pump station has been refurbished and is now running
at full capacity. We always look at a golf course and its beauty and often compare to our
lawn at home, thinking it must be as easy as pulling a lawn mower through on Saturday
morning, but there is so much more that goes into keeping the course in the great shape it
consistently is. The pump station can be compared to the heart of the human body - as the
heart of the course it is responsible for the irrigation of the whole golf course, making sure
that all areas get watered in regular intervals, and ensuring an evenly green and healthy golf
course.
We now have two submersible pumps and one jockey pump, allowing us to irrigate with
multiple sprinklers at the same time. The entire system is automatic and set for all areas to
get an equal amount of water. We are also able to terminate certain areas if needed, for
instance, areas which may still be saturated from previous rainfall, or where drainage is a
bit slower. The upgrade will make a noticeable difference on the course, and we look
forward to a warm summer.
Hollowtining:
Please take note that the golf course will be closed for annual spring treatment/hollowtining
from 9-12 November 2018, and the Mashie Course will be closed on 13 November 2018.
The course will be in recovery from 13 -23 November 2018. We will be doing a small tine
and the course should be recovered within about 7 days following. We will, however, offer
reduced green fees during this period. The clubhouse will also be closed from 9-13
November 2018 for our annual spring clean.
Please see below our updated golf club calendar. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact the Pro Shop on 039 313 5141.

verantwoordelik vir die besproeiing van die hele gholfbaan. Die stasie maak seker dat alle
areas gereeld met water gevoer word, en verseker 'n eweredige, groen en gesonde
gholfbaan.
Ons het nou twee dompelpompe en een “jockey”- pomp, wat ons toelaat om op dieselfde
tyd met verskeie sproeiers te besproei. Die hele stelsel is outomaties en lewer aan alle
areas 'n gelyke hoeveelheid water. Ons is ook in staat om sekere gebiede te eindig indien
nodig, byvoorbeeld gebiede wat nog steeds versadig kan word van vorige reënval, of waar
dreinering 'n bietjie stadiger is. Die opgradering sal 'n merkbare verskil op die baan maak,
en ons sien uit na 'n warm somer.
Lentebehandeling:
Let asseblief daarop dat die gholfbaan van 9 -12 November 2018 gesluit sal word vir die
jaarlikse lentebehandeling en die Mashie-baan sal op 13 November 2018 gesluit wees.
Die baan sal in 'n herstelperiode wees vanaf 13 - 23 November 2018. Ons sal 'n klein
behandeling doen en die baan behoort sowat 7 dae later al herstel te wees. Ons sal egter
gedurende hierdie tydperk verminderde baanfooie vir ons spelers aanbied. Die klubhuis sal
ook van 9 -13 November 2018 vir ons jaarlikse lentebehandeling gesluit wees.

Pompstasie
Ek is baie opgewonde om te rapporteer dat ons die pompstasie by die gholfbaan opgeknap
het en dat dit nou in volle kapasiteit werk. Ons kyk altyd na 'n gholfbaan en sy skoonheid en
vergelyk dit dikwels met ons grasperk by die huis. Jy dink dit moet so maklik wees om 'n
grassnyer op 'n Saterdagoggend te stoot, maar daar is soveel meer wat gedoen moet word
om die toestand van ons baan in stand en konsekwent te hou. Die pompstasie kan vergelyk
word met die hart van die menslike liggaam. As die hart van die baan, is die pompstasie
