Newsletter | June 2025
Good day fellow Members of the Milnerton GC,
The committee has been hard at work handing out Raffle books to members and for those that don’t have raffle books yet, please contact Lorette Hegie and she will give you a book to sell.
Festival week will be from the 3rd of November to the 9th of November which includes the Ladies Christmas Mix on the 9th of November 2025.
There will be a Centenary Dinner Dance function on the 8th of November at the Lagoon Beach Hotel (Saturday evening) for those that would like to attend.
The cost of the tickets for the Centenary Dinner Dance will be R850 Single and R1500 per Couple, this will include a great Band and good Food provided by Lagoon Beach, a few Celebrities will also be in attendance.
Golfing Matters:
Leagues will be starting on the 19th of November. 1st and 3rd Challenge plus Super Seniors, please put your names on the noticeboard if you want to play in the leagues. It is important to remember to fix the divots and pitch marks and rake the bunkers. Due to our course having so much rain of late. Players with golf carts must try to drive in the rough as much as possible. This is our golf course, and we need to be proud of it, I have seen many divots on the course that have not been repaired. Our pipeline is almost done, and it will be in operation soon.
The Club is also offering members a special rate on Golf carts on Competition Days at R200 per cart.
You’re Captain,
Peter Waison

Celebrating 100 Years
Note From the Lady Captain
We were lucky to have quite a bit of golfing Tuesdays for June. It’s not that the rain stayed away but that we did not give up on golf despite the rain!
We started with our League Day on 3 June, it was a very wet day in Cape Town, but we had to play regardless. It was what I call ‘survivor golf’. But those are the days you remember.
We also had our Marius Steyn trophy day on 10 June and congratulations to Barbara Schwartz for winning the trophy. We are still trying to figure out who Marius Steyn was…
We had a very enjoyable and successful Standard Bank international pairs day on the 17th with 24 players participating. Again, some rain along the way, but most of the field finished. Some Elvis music and dancing through the 17th kept my 4-ball going. And our winning team that goes through to the regional finals are the mother and daughter team – Judy Teixeira and Casey Hattle. Well done girls, and good luck with the next round.
Then we had our last league game for the season on the 24th of June. We are looking at our divisions for next year and hoping to do better next year as a team.
The Match play is still ongoing please look out for the results on the boards in the club and on our what’s app Groups.
We wish the following Ladies a very Happy Birthday

Important Notice – MGC Committee
We would like to update you on the following action item as we continue to strive for the right solution for MGC.
After much deliberation it has become clear that retreating from the elements to a new Clubhouse will present amy challenges, not least the timelines from plans to planning permission.
Therefore, we cannot possibly consider relocating the members into the Sunset Lounge without a definite timeline. Therefore, this will not take place until any relevant plans are approved.
The members’ lounge is therefore not available for outsourcing until further notice. The committee will continue to look at options and opportunities for the Sunset Lounge as well as the overall Food and Beverage portfolio.
Regards
MGC Committee
