News Flash 11 December 2013 Dear Members MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT/ BOODSKAP VAN DIE PRESIDENT Ek kan dit skaars glo, maar 2013 lê op sy rug en die vakansiegangers is besig om in te pak vir hul tog na Mosselbaai, wat hulle met ope arms inwag in die hoop dat die weer pragtig sal wees. Alvorens die intog ons tref, wil ek graag namens die Raad van die Mosselbaai Gholfklub ons dank en waardering oordra aan die personeel vir die harde werk en pligsgetrouheid oor die afgelope jaar en julle ook sterkte en geduld toewens gedurende die besige vakansietyd wat voorlê. Ook wil ek graag al die Raadslede bedank vir hul onbaatsugtige ondersteuning. Baie dankie ook aan ons lede vir ondersteuning, die positiewe gesindheid en die goeie gees wat veral in die opkoms na ons sosiale geleenthede duidelik waarneembaar was. Ook 'n spesiale woord van dank aan al ons borge wat bygedra het tot 'n suksesvolle 2013. Ons vertrou dat ons op julle voortgesette steun kan staatmaak. Our course is, in the opinion of many, in the best condition ever and we trust that the visitors will enjoy themselves in what we hope to be a bumper season for all concerned. The new irrigation system has been installed, which should assist in making life easier for our golf course staff in their endeavours to maintain the standard throughout the period of increased traffic. The arrival of the new fleet of golf carts will hopefully prove to be a great asset in meeting the increased demand for transport from our visitors. We have full confidence in the friendly staff of the refurbished pro-shop to meet with the needs of the holidaymakers. In closing, we would like to wish our staff and members, as well as the visitors well over the festive season and a safe passage to the latter, when they return to their places of abode. NOEL HUDSON PRESIDENT VOLMAAKTE GELUK Baie geluk aan Steve Schoeman en Wouter Kotze wat hierdie afgelope tyd op onderskeidelik die 8ste en 15de gate volmaakte gelukhoue behaal het!!
NEW CARTS 1 December saw the welcome arrival of 25 brand new EZGO golf carts to be used by our Club on a 4 year split rental contract basis. The beauty of this deal is that no capital expenditure was necessary; all the Club have to do is to insure and charge the carts and keep them tidy. At the end of the month the revenue is split 50/50 between the Club and EZGO. The bonus on the whole package is that the supplier sacrificed the split for December and January as a gesture of good will to the Club. This is of course our busiest two months of the year. The carts are fitted with 2 sand bottles, cooler box, club and ball washer, rain sail, a split windscreen and a state of the art GPS. The GPS system also has a unique management function to control the carts, the pace of play and any illegal movements. With the new carts and the ongoing building of cart paths, it goes without saying that the applicable fees have to be increased. With immediate effect the following rates will apply with regards to golf cart rental: Member 18 holes R185-00 (Incl R10 trail fee) Member 9 holes R120-00 (Incl R5 trail fee) Visitor 18 holes R250-00 (Incl R10 trail fee) Visitor 9 holes R160-00 (Incl R5 trail fee) Son/Mon Special Inclusive R240-00 pp sharing PLEASE NOTE:- Members using other member's golf carts will pay a R20 trail fee/18h, and visitors using a member / own cart will pay a R40-00 trail fee/18h.

FINANSIëLE NUUS OPSOMMING VAN MOSSELBAAI GHOLFKLUB SE FINANSIELE POSISIE SOOS OP 31 OKTOBER 2013. Inkomste vir Oktober 2013 R579, 868.00 (R212, 943.00 onder begroting) Totale uitgawes R573, 369.00 (R 76,191.00 onder begroting) Netto resultaat R112, 017.00 netto verlies na depresiasie en Finansieringskoste Kumulatief vir hierdie finansiele jaar beloop die inkomste R2,340,007.00 met uitgawes van R2,294,464.00 wat 'n netto wins van R45,542.00 beteken, maar na depresiasie en finansieringskoste ons laat met 'n netto verlies oor die periode van R331,434.00 Die speelfooie inkomste beloop R236, 841.00 teenoor 'n begroting van R379, 948.00, 'n negatiewe afwyking van R143, 106.00. Bedryfsbates beloop R2, 339,522.00 teenoor bedryfslaste van R975, 709.00 wat toon dat ons likwiditeit tans in 'n bevredigende posisie is. Bruto wins marge van die kroeg beloop 47.88% teenoor n begrote marge van 54%. Al die oorblywende afdelings opereer binne begroting en wek geen kommer. Krediteure is onder beheer en word binne 30 dae betaal. Die hoofrede vir die negatiewe finansiele afwykings is die aantel rondtes gespeel wat onder begroting is. Die komende seisoen sal hopelik opmaak vir hierdie tekorte. Bunkers We are aware that some of the bunkers on the course do not have the right amount of sand in them. We have also received feedback from the course rating panels and members that some of the bunkers are penalising players unfairly. One example of this is the re-shaping we have done on the fairway bunker on the right of the 7th hole. Raymond and his team have done a costing to replace sand where needed and the quote came to R107 000-00. I would like to remind members that, apart from not having that amount of money readily available, we are also limited when it comes to the specifications of the sand we are supposed to use. We cannot simply use any kind of sand; it has to be a specific grain, clean and from a trusted supplier. We would like to thank Charl Vorster, who unselfishly donated a laptop with detachable touch screen to the Club. This laptop is worth over R6 000-00, and we are selling raffle tickets to raise money as a part of PROJECT BUNKER SAND. This is a great way for members to support this cause. Please purchase a ticket (or a few) with Lizette at reception. We would also like to thank the Mosselkrakers for their donation of R1200-00 to the fund.
