3. “Die oudste Gansbaai Gholf en Overberg Sages speler is Elias Matthee. Beter bekend as El. Die jaar word hy 85, (19 November). Sowaar ‘n geseende ouderdom. Twee keer per week ry El van “ Die Dam “ na Gansbaai Gholfklub om aan ‘n gholf kompetisie deel te neem. Al sy bure weet dat hy twee keer per week na Gansbaai ry, en elkeen gee altyd vir hom 'n lysie van inkopies wat hy vir hulle moet doen van 'n Landbouweekblad tot 'n pakkie vuurhoutjies en pruim tabak. Vir Sages mis hy nie maklik 'n spel nie. El is ook al jare by Gansbaai Gholfklub 'n lid. Soos baie van julle weet is hy fanaties oor sport... veral gholf. Sy gunsteling rugby span is die "Blou Bulle"... jammer eindelik Stormers. Die jaar 1 April is hy en Alma 55 jaar getroud. Meer jare as baie van ons huidige gholfspelers se ouderdom. El en Alma is baie lief vir hul kleinseun wat in Brackenfell woon so hulle kuier ook gereeld oor en weer. El is besig om sy kleinseun ook te leer visvang en gholfspeel. El speel nog kookwater gholf en het die 30 ste Maart 2022 op gaatjie 15 'n spog twee aangeteken, "IPS" VYF punte. El is ook van die min gholf spelers van Gansbaai wat op Hermanus 'n kol hou aangeteken het. Sy gholf maats ken baie van El se gholf gesegdes - sou 'n vierbal maat 'n goeie hou of set sink se hy altyd "Ek is trots op jou."

El en Alma baie seën vir julle, ons is trots op julle.

The oldest golfer playing both at Gansbaai Golf Club and on the Overberg SAGES golf days is Elias Matthee. He is commonly known as El. This year he will be 85 on the 19th of November. A really blessed old age. El drives to Gansbaai from “Die Dam” twice a week to play in the golf competitions (Wednesdays and Saturdays). All his neighbours know that he regularly travels to Gansbaai and always give him a list of shopping to do for them, from a local magazine to a box of matches and priming tobacco. He hardly Nuusbrief/Newsletter, April 2022 Page 2 misses a SAGES competition. El has been a member of the Gansbaai Golf Club for many years. As many of you are aware he is a fanatical sports fan... especially golf. His favourite rugby team is the Blue Bulls... no, really the Stormers. This year on April 1st he and Alma will be married for 55 years. El and Alma are very fond of their grandson who lives in Brackenfell. They often visit each other. El still plays very good golf and as recently as the 30th of March 2022 he made a two club on hole number 15, (IPS) worth 5 points. El is one of a few players from Gansbaai Golf Club that has made a hole in one on the Hermanus golf course. His golfing mates know many of his golfing sayings - if one of his four ball companions makes a good shot or sinks a difficult putt he will comment “I am proud of you” for example.

El and Alma may you be richly blessed, we are all proud of you both.
