Dear Members,
This week, we proudly support Team Potgieter as Aldrich competes in Africa’s Major at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, hosted at the iconic Gary Player Country Club in Sun City.
I’m thrilled to share that our Pinnacle Golf Course holds its own among tournament-ready courses. From seamless operations to meticulous attention to detail, our course could host a tournament even on a regular day.
A special mention goes to our course superintendent, Konrad Suhr, whose invaluable experience with preparing for seven Nedbank Golf Challenges has been instrumental in driving our course to this exceptional standard.
Let’s rally behind Team Potgieter and celebrate a fantastic weekend ahead.

Warm regards,
Quintin.
