5. Die name agter ons nuwe borde op ons bowwe: The names behind the new hole layout signs on our tees:

Die projek om aanwysingsborde aan te bring het baie goed afgeloop. Die fokus was om die verskillende T bokse, setperke en algehele uitleg vir besoekers te vergemaklik. The project to put up hole sign boards was successfully completed. The idea was to provide hole layout and general information to visitors to the course.

Die kommittee wou koste efektief ‘n projek uniek aan ons baan ontwikkel. The Committee wanted to develope a unique, cost effective solution.

Na ‘n paar ondersoeke het ons uit eindelik ‘n profiel saamgestel wat ons kon gebruik. Die uitdaging was die befondsing asook die material wat sou benodig word. Die eerste konsep voorstel was aanvaar. After a number of iterations we finally came up with a solution we could work with. The challenge lay in the funding as well as the material to use. The first concept proposal was accepted.

Ons het met ‘n paar lede asook besoekers gesels om hul mening te kry. Na een Saterdag middag se gholf spel het ek weer met ‘n “country member” gesels om sy inset te kry. Sy vraag was hoeveel geld benodig julle om die projek te begin asook om dit klaar te maak? Ek was bietjie omkant gevang, ek het die bedrag genoem en hy het gesê stuur my julle bank besonderhede en ek betaal die fondse aan julle oor. We discussed the project with a number of club members as well as visitors to get their opinions. I had a discussion with a “country member” after one Saturday’s golf competition to get his opinion. He asked what the financial requirement would be to complete the project. This caught me by surprise and I mentioned the estimated cost. He asked me to send the club’s bank details and that he would make the necessary payment.

‘n Groot dankie aan Deon en Erika Oosthuizen vir julle uitsonderlike geskenk van ZAR 20000.00 vir hierdie projek. A huge thank you to Deon and Erika Oosthuizen for this exceponal donaon of ZAR20 000.00 for the project.

Deon en Erika Oosthuizen ons borg, met voloide bord nr, 1 met hulle besigheid se advertensie bord. Deon and Erika Oosthuizen, our sponsors, with the completed sign for tee no. 1. Their business adversing sign is also present.

Dencrom Trading is gesg in Maart 2018 toe Deon aetaal is by ‘n korporaewe maatskappy. Ek moes toe noodgedwonge iets doen vir ‘n inkomste. My ondevinding is in Bosbou en Afval bestuur, vir Bosbou sou ons moes terug trek Laeveld toe, Ouma het onmiddelik daarteen besluit want al die kleinkinders woon in die Kaap, en sodoende het ons (Erika en myself) die besigheid plaaslik begin in die herwinbare afval bedryf. Ons is betrokke by alle herwinbare produkte behalwe staal. Alhoewel ons gebasseer is in die Kaap, strek ons besigheid landswyd, ons voer ook herwinbare produkte in vanaf al ons buurlande, al hierdie produkte word tans verkoop aan plaaslike eindgebruikers. Ons het ‘n passie vir die natuur en sy omgewing, daarom is Dencrom se leuse dan ook “For A Beer Environment” Die besigheid gaan tans van krag tot krag, en hoop ons om eendag ‘n suksesvolle besigheid in die kinders se hande te los. Dencrom Trading was established in March 2018 when Deon was laid off by a corporate business. “I had no choice but to find something to do to earn an income. My experience was in forestry and waste management. To go into forestry would have meant moving back to the lowveld. Grandmother immediately decided against that because all the grandchildren live in the Cape. This meant that we (Erika and myself) started a local business in the reusable waste industry. We are involved in all forms of reusable waste with the excepon of steel. Although we are based in the Cape, we are busy naonwide. We also import reusable waste from neighbouring countries. All these products ar resold to local end users. We are passionate about nature and the environment. This is why our moo is “For A Beer Environment”. At the moment our business is going from strength to strength and we hope to, one day, hand a successful business on to our children”.

Die ontwerp van die borde is gedoen deur Hennie Groenewald.

Ek het verneem dat Hennie Groenewald – ‘n afgetrede advertensie-praksyn van Centurion af en wie nou in Hermanus woon - bereid was om die borde op ons baan te ontwerp en voor te berei vir drukwerk. I found out that Hennie Groenewald - a rered adversing-praconer originally from Centurion and now resident in Hermanus - was prepared to design the sign boards for our course as well as prepare them for prinng.

Hennie het dadelik bevesg dat hy dit vir ons kosteloos sou doen (behalwe vir sy reiskoste om na die detail van die baan te kom kyk). Hennie immediately confirmed that he would do it for us at no cost (with the excepon of travelling costs to and from the course to see what was needed).

“Ek het dit baie geniet om die werk te doen en dit is lekker om van my tyd, ervaring en talente te gebruik om ‘n verdienstelike doel te help bereik. Ek is self ‘n golfspeler vir baie jare en weet hoe moeilik dit soms gaan om ‘n klub nie net in stand te hou nie, maar ook om sigbare vooruitgang te maak. Dit was vir my ‘n plesier” sê Hennie. “I really enjoyed doing the work and it was a pleasure to use my me, experience and talents for this worthwhile cause. I, myself, am a golfer of many tears and understand how difficult it somemes is to, not only maintain a club, but also to bring about visible improvements. This was a pleasure for me to do” says Hennie.

Die houtpaal rame. The wooden pole frames.

Die uitdaging was wie sal vir ons die paal strukture van die borde kan maak. Na ‘n lang gesukkel het ek ‘n gereelde besoeker aan ons baan gekontak wat in die pe bedryf is het ek vir Rudi La Grange eienaar van Fynbos – “Wendy Homes” gekontak. Hy het vir my gevra wat se ontwerp ons wil gebruik. Hy was toe op vakansie by Natures Valley en hy het begin met ‘n ontwerp vir die borde. Ons het besluit op ‘n finale ontwerp. Die pale is aangery van Albernia, en Rudi het die rame vir ons in sy vrye tyd gemaak. Rudi het ook gehelp met die eerste plant van die heel eerste raam. Dankie ook aan Welcome en Thabo wat ook gehelp het met die projek. The challenge was to find someone to make the pole structures for our sign boards. Aer a long struggle I contacted a regular visitor to our club who works in this sort of industry - Rudi La Grange, owner of “Fynbos - Wendy Homes”. He asked me what the design was that we wanted. He was on holiday at the me in Natures Valley an he bagan with the design for mounng the sign boards. We decided on a final design. The wooden poles were brought in from Albernia and Rudi made the frames in his spare me. Rudi also assisted in planng the very first frame. A big thanks to Welcome and Thabo who assisted with the project.

Finale fase van projek. The Final phase of the project.

Huidiglik is al die borde geplant en borde is aangebring. Ons vertrou dat nog besighede ons sal ondersteun met advertensie borde wat aangebring kan word. Kontak ons gerus vir advertensies. As of now, all the sign boards have been put up. We are sure that more local businesses will support us by pung up their adversing boards. Feel free to contact us in this regard.

Johan Pfister.
