The KGC apologises for the inconvenience to players caused by the vandalism of the toilets at the 6th hole. The toilets will be closed until further notice. The pump at the 3rd Tee box was also vandalised but has been repaired. Also due to a fire the main pump to water the course has been out of action.
Trying to water the course has resulted in a pool of water on the 3rd fairway and the KGC is trying to sort this problem out. Not only are there horses on the course but these have now been joined by cattle. One wonders if sheep and goats are next. Time for an Ox braai!!
Bookings for the annual Barney Barnato tournament are also open with the entry form published on the KGC website. Once booked and paid please send the club proof of payment so that the booking can be reserved.
