Perhaps I should greet today by only saying 'morning' as so many of our members will be disappointed with the demise of the England team. However all matters considered, Germany were the better and more imaginative team with speed and skill, and Sepp Blatter will now have to consider technology. THAT decision must be a candidate for Blooper of the year!
We did play some golf this weekend though, in the monthly competition, and tagged a World Cup theme to it. Winners of the Bogey Plus event were Erica and Eric Lefson, on a count out on +10 from Thea and Hanru Albertyn. A winter field of 70 took to the fairways and experienced superb putting surfaces - how lucky we are to have such outstanding facilities in the middle of winter.
And whilst on about winter, weather knowledge can be an advantage when planning one's playing schedule. A reminder then of the excellent golf site www.golfweather.co.za, which gives very accurate three hour forecasts, and indicates the suitability for play at numerous courses around SA. You can make Arabella your course of choice, so make use of it.
Another golf site I have made use of is www.golfcentralsa.com. It is a ranking site for all courses in SA, based on ratings submitted by ordinary players such as us. A very simple registration process opens up the site, and allows you to rank the courses you have played according to a very easy and understandable set of criteria. Our course currently lies in 10th spot on the table, so member input could well see us move up. For those like myself who enjoy playing other courses, this is an ideal avenue to get involved in another aspect of our game.
As I shall be at the Argentina-Germany quarter final next Saturday, the next missive will be in a fortnight.

 The Arabella golf course in South Africa is ranked by Compleat Golfer magazine as the number one golf course in the Western Cape. It is also featured in Golf Digest’s USA’s Top 60 courses outside of America in 2007.
Designed and built in 1999 by celebrated South African golf course architect Peter Matkovich, who is also credited with the design of Western Cape courses de Zalze and Steenberg, this classic parkland course has spectacular views across the Bot River lagoon and across the Kogelberg mountain range.
