Newsletter | May 2025 - Milnerton Golf Club | 18 Hole | 72 Par | Coastal Links Course | Milnerton | Cape Town

Good day fellow Members of the Milnerton GC,

This month would be my 2^nd month as Captain and it’s been a privilege to serve you the members and will do my very best to inform you on the happenings at the club.

As you all may know, the pipeline is being installed and hopefully will be finished by the end of June.

The Centenary year planning is going well, which is in the hands of our committee. (Brent Viljoen, Lorette Hegie and Justin De Allende). If any member would like to assist, please feel free to contact Brent and/or the committee.

Winter is here, so please take note of the following with regards to Golf Carts:

During our committee meeting concerns were raised in regards to golf carts driving too close to the tee boxes and greens. Please be aware of this and try to keep at least 15 metres away from tee box and greens. The marshals will be reporting any instances to the Manager and committee if you do not adhere to our plea to keep away from these areas.
Our other concern is, cars driving down to the 10^th during the day to please adhere to the speed limit of 30km. We had an incident 2 weeks ago when a golf cart that shot out from behind a bush and had a bumper bash with a car.

On a brighter note, I would like to congratulate Giles Buchanan and Weyers Jansen Van Rensburg that played Seniors IPT for Western Province and Won. Well done guys and keep the Milnerton flag flying high.

You’re Captain,
Peter Waison

We welcome the following new members
