2 het ook n nuwe ooreenkoms gesluit met die Huiseienaarsvereniging t.o.v die gebruik van die baan. Die ooreenkoms sal tydens die vergadering bespreek word. Wat die gholf aanbetref is daar baie om oor te rapporteer. Die Kampioen van kampioene kompetisie is gewen deur niemand anders as ons immergroen(of grys) klubkaptein, Manie Nel. Baie geluk Manie, jy het die groot honde in die klub lelik in die stof laat byt. Om sy dag nog verder te verbeter het hy boonop die boerpot ten bedrae van R3 700 ook gewen. Ons moes ongelukkig tot laatnag nog luister na hoe n goeie gholfer hy is. Die uitklopkampioenskappe is ook afgehandel en Kobus de Villiers het as die individuele oorwinnaar uit die stryd getree deur Harry Oberholzer n afgedankse loesing te gee. Hanno Oberholzer en John Santos het op hulle beurt weer korte mette gemaak van Koos van der Merwe en Louis Erasmus. Baie geluk aan die wenners wat elkeen n skaap ontvang het. Twee van ons klublede by name Harry Oberholzer en Piet Potgieter is gekies om die Limpopo Seniorspan te verteenwoordig by die interprovinsiale kampioenskappe te Parys. Die toernooi vind plaas vanaf 10 tot 14 April. Baie geluk aan julle twee, ons wens julle sterkte toe met jul deelname. Vriendelike gholfgroete. Die Gholfkomitee. length during the meeting. When it comes to golf there is a lot that happened over the past month or so. The Champion of champion s competition was won by our club captain, the evergreen (or grey) Manie Nel. Well done Manie, you left a few of the big dogs without a bone! To put the cherry on top Manie also managed to win the jackpot of R3700. All of this unfortunately made us listen to how good a golfer he is for the whole night. The knockout championships also finished and in the individual competition it was Kobus de Villiers who took the honors with an empathic win over Vice-captain Harry Oberholzer. The doubles competition was won by Hanno Oberholzer and John Santos who managed to beat Koos van der Merwe and Louis Erasmus. Well done guys you all were deserved winners. Each of the winners received a whole lamb. Two of our members, Harry Oberholzer and Piet Potgieter, were selected to represent the Limpopo Senior Team at the inter provincial tournament which will be held at Parys Golf Club from the 10 th to the 14 th of April. Congratulations to them and we wish them the best of luck. Kind regards The Golf Committee Harvey Penick het gese: n Goeie setter van die bal is kompetisie vir enige iemand maar n swak setter is kompetisie vir niemand nie. As jy sette inrol gee dit jou selfvertroue n hupstoot terwyl dit jou teenstaander laat moed verloor.

Oorweging is geskenk aan verskeie opsies vir n vervoermiddel vir die wagte wat die Landgoed gaan patroleer en is besluit op n QUAD BIKE omrede dit beter toegang tot alle gebiede op die Landgoed kan verkry. Ons het addisionele maatreëls getref om die QUAD BIKE minder te laat raas. SECURITY It is with pleasure that we want to inform you that we have changed our security firm, and would like to welcome Molalatau Security to the Estate. The take over took place on Friday 25 March 2011, and we ask for your cooperation to help the new guards fit in to their new environment.a few options was considered for transport for the guards that will patrol the Estate, and the decision was made to purchase a QUAD BIKE as this will give better access to all areas on the Estate. We have made additional changes to make sure that the QUAD BIKE make much less noise. 3

Keep the high quality standards as you do. Looking fwd. Johan and Sumari Herbst 3/2/2011 Namens Alberton LewenSentrum wil ons julle net bedank vir al die reëlings wat gemaak is om ons tydens ons jaarlikse Klub Kampioenskappe weer te akkommodeer. Julle Pro-Shop bestuurder en Bestuurder van die klub was daar om ons welkom te heet, en ons het dit opreg waardeer. Ons het nou twee jaar na mekaar daar gespeel (November 2009 en November 2010) en ons kan net sê dat dit vir ons 'n voorreg en 'n plesier was om op julle pragtige baan te kon gespeel het. Soos julle weet kom van die ouens al die Vrydag op om 'n oefen rondte te speel en die terugvoer is dat alles net uitstekend was. Daar is ook volop billike verblyf om die baan en dit het gehelp om ons groep van 32 te huisves. Die eetgeriewe by jul klubhuis was ook baie beter as die eerste keer wat ons daar was maar ek sien in julle nuusbrief dat daar nou iemand nuut is. Baie geluk! Ons gaan ongetwyfeld weer van julle geriewe gebruik maak in die toekoms.

OM NIE EENS TE PRAAT VAN DIE SKITTERENDE FASILITEITE EN VRIENDELIKE PERSONEEL NIE. STOMPIE ERASMUS 3/02/2011 Hi During my scouting tour in September 2010 where I played 7 courses in Limpopo, I had the privilege of playing at Koro Creek Golf Estate. Koro Creek Golf Estate is not only a very picturesque, challenging and satisfying course to play on, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Charlie at the pro shop was very accommodating and I was able to sort out all the queries I had in a very short time. The food was phenomenal and you would forget that you are dining at a golf course and not an up class restaurant. All the staff from the pro shop to the catering staff is very kind, friendly and helpful. The club house inside is beautiful; you could be mistaken for a tourist the way you walk around and marvel at the decor. All the locals at Koro Creek are very lucky to have this gem in their laps. I was so impressed with Koro Creek that I have included the golf course into our tour program for August 2011 where I will be taking 24 players to 4 different courses. I look forward to bringing our tour group to your course. 6

7 Thanks & regards Andre Swanepoel 3/02/2011 We booked two games through Play More Golf and also booked a one night stay over at Loco Lodge. It was our first visit to Koro Creek and hopefully will not be our last. What really impressed us was how friendly and welcoming the staff was from the pro shop through to the restaurant. The golf course was in lovely condition and besides the windy day on the Saturday, which made our game a bit of a challenge, we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We look forward to our next visit.

TIPS The first shot of any hole is of tremendous importance and fortunately or unfortunately (for some) there are 14 out of 18 holes that require first shot to be played with driver. So what to do with this gigantic head club. Simple! Keep your concentration high while playing the shot. Keep your eye on the ball and have a go at it with perfectly normal swing. It's a guarantee your stroke can cover yards. The most important thing is to keep the ball tilted towards your front foot. Opposite to the pitching, the handle must be behind the ball. There are basically two types of driver shots, one to be played in windy weather called the "wind cheater" and the other in normal weather where you can get the loft as well. To play a wind cheater, your driver face must hit the ball flat so as to gain maximum distance and go flat. Keep the tee a bit high so as to have massive contact with the ball. This will help you in all those windy season golf. 8

9 VOER VAN WILD Ons ondervind n plaag van wilde muishonde en tarentale op die Landgoed. Dit is as gevolg van die diere wat gevoer word. Ons doen asseblief n dringende beroep op u om nie die wilde muishonde en die tarentale te voer nie. Die aanwas is onnatuurlik hoog. We are experiencing a plaque of wild mongooses and guinea-fowls on the estate. This is because these animals are being fed. We are urgently requesting you to please not feed the mongooses and guinea-fowls. The population is unnaturally high. You Have to Feel the Putt Has anyone ever told you that you have great touch? Well if you haven t heard it that s ok. After all, you are here to learn right? The following Easy Golf Tip will teach you a practice tool that will give you the touch you need to make the ball fall into the cup. Line up in the middle of the practice green for a long putt. By long putt, I mean 25 ft at least. Face your putt to the fringe of the green. Hit your first putt so that it goes off the green and a foot or two into the fringe. Hit your second putt so it falls a foot or two short of the fringe line. Now, hit your third putt so it lands somewhere between the first and second ball. Once you get your third ball in the middle of the first two, hit about 3 more putts that all fall within the first and second ball. You should have the stroke down. Now to really get the feel for the putt, you must close your eyes for the next shot. Use the same exact putting swing you used for the previous few balls. Nothing will change except your eyes being closed. The goal is to keep hitting balls that land between the first and second one while keeping your eyes closed. This will help you get that all important touch when approaching a normal putt. If you look at any professional basketball player, they can all hit free throws with their eyes closed. It is the same motion and the have a feel for where the hoop is. The same concept applies in golf. TOT WEERSIENS/SEE YOU SOON 9
