Captains Report<br />
Benoni Lake Golf Club<br />
A beautiful Sunday morning greeted us<br />
made especially wonderful by the world<br />
cup win the previous day. After much<br />
welcome rain had fallen the course had softened up a little. Many players<br />
were nursing sore heads but proud hearts. Terry, Lindsay and Cathy were<br />
really the early birds this time with our shotgun start scheduled for<br />
6:30am and registration at 5:30am. Terry had put in a lot of extra time to<br />
have everything sorted before the rush and I can tip my cap to this wonderfully<br />
organised damsel once more. Amazingly there were no late comers<br />
and we tee’d off at precisely 6:30. This was an experiment to see if<br />
the format would work and it went off very smoothly followed by much<br />
positive comment. The round was completed in 4.5 hours and the ladies<br />
had the results sheet ready in 55 minutes. The pressure that they worked<br />
under to achieve this is great. I would believe that the format could work<br />
even better for an afternoon field.<br />
A big thank you to the Lake club for their assistance, Robbie Frank<br />
(chairman), Paul Slaven (club captain), Rachel Hunter (Pro) and the staff<br />
in the pro shop, Julie and Wendy and the staff in the halfway house and<br />
Wesley and his staff having the course ready so early. One can get an<br />
idea of how much organisation goes into getting a golf day ready for your<br />
enjoyment. The next time you feel like venting your anger due to a small<br />
mishap on the day, spare a thought for all the work that has been done<br />
to try and give you the perfect golf experience. Thanks to Ray Karshagen<br />
for getting up early to come and marshal (Loco)
