From the General Manager

We are yet again the proud recipients of the Compleat Golfer 5 star award.  We were presented this honourable award at a Glittering Awards Evening hosted by Compleat Golfer on the 19th February 2009.  The club is featured in both March and  April’s publication of Compleat Golfer for those members who receive the magazine. 

The insert in the magazine says it all!

"The 'G' factor: Silver service

You will always feel like a ‘member for the day’ at this modern course with strong classic touches. Atlantic Beach consistently ranks among the best: the clubhouse facilities more than pass muster, and the course is well maintained year round. It receives particularly high marks for its friendliness, and the staff go out of their way to ensure that members and visitors receive royal treatment. The course is no pushover and needs to be played more than once – each time you are likely to enjoy it even more.

Nobody’s perfect: On particularly windy days the fynbos that flanks the fairways (marked as lateral hazards) can claim a few golf balls, but the club regularly supplies visitors with some spare complimentary ammunition.
"
From time to time we review our dress code, within the next week or so look out for correspondence asking YOU THE MEMBER!! how you feel and your thoughts on the matter.  We value your input and look forward to hearing from you in due course.

We have some exciting member events coming up Club Champs for our competitive Golfing member, and of course EASTER weekend.  For more information and to view our events calendar, please log on to our website - www.atlanticbeachgolfclub.co.za

Amanda Forknall

 
 
NEWS, NEWS & NEWS
THANK YOU to all our Members for ALL YOUR SUPPORT in ALL the EVENTS so far this year. As always, your support is greatly appreciated and goes an extremely long way in the overall success of Atlantic Beach Golf Club.

We once again have a great golfing year ahead scheduled with all Member competitions on Thursday, Saturday’s and our very successful Sunday school on a Monthly Basis. Club Championship being our most prestigious and an Honor Board Event in the latter part of April, so if you have not entered please grab a form in the Sports Centre or ask the Ladies to fax it to you, as entries close on the 10th April 2009, we look forward to your continued support and participation.

The Celebration week is on May 21st – 23rd. We need the support of all Members to really make this one a huge success. Needless to say, the very trying economic situation has touched almost everyone in South Africa, with Atlantic Beach Golf Club being no different. We know that our members, residents and guests have been impacted in one way or another. Golf Facilities and Communities across this fine country have been forced into challenging times, so let’s at least try making this Celebration Week of 2009 a time to remember for those least privilege than we are.

Some updates related to the Golf Course: we are verticutting the Greens and will be doing normal Maintenance leading up to Club Champs, and before we start our winter program. The revetting of the Bunkers will continue but will more than likely only start again in May. Allen Bland has being doing a fine job with the resources at his disposal and I am sure we all agree this is the Best the Course has looked going in to winter.
We ask that all Members to please fix pitch marks and fill all divots, by doing this we will have an even better course than what we have now.  Further a reminder that no one is allowed in the Fynbos areas, it is strictly out of bounds. 

Yours in Golf
Tony Louw
Golf Director/ Club Manager

GOLF COURSE - Tees Program
 
  When the tees were levelled on the golf course, that was the objective – to get them levelled. Although we planted them with Rye grass this was only done to get the tees back in play as soon as possible and was not an attempt at resurfacing the tees and eliminating kikuyu. The objective was to get a level playing surface and that was all.

Regarding the weeds and the kikuyu on the greens this is a timing issue and Allen Bland, our Golf Course Superintendent is dealing with it in his spray program on an ongoing basis.
