April Festivities
Our Easter festivities were absolutely thrilling with the assistance of Halo Aviation (our aerial medic partner) who dropped hundreds of easter eggs from their helicopter for the children to collect, share and enjoy. There was huge excitement all around. The children could also enjoy the jumping castle, slip and slide, cute petting zoo as well as fun tattoos. The vibe was incredible as live music accompanied the special spit braai provided by SIX33.

Maintenance
We have finally completed the project to redo ALL our road names across the Estate. This was a huge undertaking and we thank the team who coordinated the project. Our maintenance staff have recently received their new uniforms too – we are very proud of them.
Golf Data
We are currently dusting the greens heavily once a month during the growing season which is extremely beneficial for the health of the turf grass plant and the longevity of sand- based greens.
The sand helps to dilute the thatch and control the organic layer. The sand also helps protect the crown of the plant where other diseases can occur. This practice also helps to protect the leaf blades from the constant shearing action from the mower blades and helps alleviate the stress from foot traffic. The sand creates a smoother playing surface and assists to keep the greens firm and true.
