Golf Membership Specials

Admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 07:34:30 +0000

If you are thinking of picking up golf as a hobby or if you are already an avid golfer, golf membership specials are a great way of joining the golfing community at discounted and special rates. There are a number of golfing associations which offer special membership packages that come with a number of benefits.

You can choose to become a member of a particular club in your area, but these yearly fees can be very expensive and won’t necessarily allow you to pay lowered affiliated visitors’ fees when you visit other golf courses.

What are the benefits of having a golf membership?

You will have affiliation with the South African Golf Association (SAGA).
Instead of the pricey non-affiliated visitor rates, you will be able to pay affiliated visitor rates when you visit different golf courses.
You will be entitled to an official handicap through SAGA.
After you have played a round, you will be able to phone your score to your home club or enter your score at a terminal in the clubhouse.
You will be able to access your recent score and your handicap on the internet.
You may be entitled to getting money off your next club subscription when you refer a friend.
You will get newsletters informing you of golf holidays and other special offers, as well as events you may be interested in attending.
You may also be entitled to other benefits such as free golf lessons or members-only competitions.

How do I apply for golf membership specials?

Applying for a gold membership with a special offer usually entails simply filling out an online application on the website of your chosen golf association, make the payment via electronic transfer or bank transfer and send the association the confirmation of payment. Your membership should be approved within 48 hours.

When choosing a golf club, be sure to research its benefits thoroughly and look for any hidden costs or fees. Find out what you will be getting for what you pay so that you can compare golf deals across the various golf clubs.

Which clubs offer special on golf memberships?

The Players Golf Club membership package is worth more than R2000 but the club is offering the full membership benefits for only R1499,00. Fees can be paid by credit card, cash or debit order. The company was established in 2000 by the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) with the primary objective of introducing new golfers to the game by providing them with all the benefits they need from a golf membership. The Players Golf Club can be found on 657 Piering Road in Rietvalleirand. You can also contact the club telephonically on 084 309 8803 or email on neil@theplayersgolfclub.co.za.
The Golf Club aims to make golf more affordable by reducing membership fees but providing all the necessary benefits such as official gold handicaps, and SAGA affiliation. Golf membership will cost R995,00 per year and no joining fee is required. Membership is available for both men and women.
The Golf connection. Membership from the Gold Connection starts at only R799 per year. You don’t have to join at a particular time in the year as your membership will be calculated based on the day you joined. The Golf Connection has members all around South Africa and provides an official SAGA handicap card as well as a host of other benefits making golf more affordable and accessible.
The membership fees for Country Golf Membership start at R699 for a year. The club is affiliated with a number of courses around the country, listed on the SAGA website. Membership offered is through the Kroonstad Country Club, but the club has members all over South Africa as well as abroad.

Golf is one of the most expensive games in the world to play, but there are many clubs out there who try to make the game more affordable, and thus more accessible, to people around South Africa.

South Africa Rugby Shirts

Admin — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 05:44:54 +0000

South Africa rugby shirts are available to buy online for supporters of the springbok rugby team who want to dress in the green and gold when watching a match. They come in various sizes including extra small, small, medium, large, extra large and XXL for the bigger guys. Clothing is also available in children’s sizes for the younger supporter and ladies sizes and cuts for the female fans. In fact, the whole family could be dressed in the green and gold next time the boks take on a top international team.

Not all South Africa rugby shirts for sale are the genuine item so be a little careful before you buy. Make sure you are getting the real thing if you do not want to waste your money as a lot of the imitation clothes are of a low quality and likely to shrink, fade quickly and even fall apart. Apart from the international teams green and gold, there are also many genuine provincial team jerseys for sale such as the Sharks, Blue Bulls, Cheetahs and Stormers, again various sizes and cuts for men, women and children and very popular for avid supporters of the local game.

Other memorabilia is available to purchase online if you are willing to shop around a bit including posters, zippo lighters, mugs, scarfs, hats, beanies and many different items. How about a collectors item? If you are looking for something a little extra special then you could buy yourself a Springbok 2007 Rugby World Cup jersey with both the 2005 and 2007 winning dates embroidered into the sleeve, a really nice gift for any Bok supporter. Shop around a little, compare prices and qualities and only purchase your genuine South Africa rugby shirts from reputable stores.

Nathan Fletcher Surfing

Admin — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 10:48:37 +0000

The Nathan Fletcher surfing style is similar to his older brother Christian but Nathan Fletcher has a definite surfing edge of his own when it comes to tearing up the ocean. Nathan was born in June 1975 and grew up in San Clemente, California.

The popular Nathan Fletcher is a surfing icon for surfers all around the globe. From pulling massive airs in 3-6 foot surf conditions to carving and grinding his way through monster waves at big wave spots around the world, he’s equally at home in any surf conditions.

While he certainly didn’t invent the air when it comes to surfing, Nathan certainly has been one of those surfer’s who has mastered the art. Nathan has taken surfing to a new level with his aggressive skate style approach to smaller waves and mature carving abilities in the big juice.

In a nutshell, Nathan Fletcher may take surfing to the level it needs to go to if it is going to compete or be compared with skateboarding or snowboarding. Logistics aside, Nathan Fletcher’s surfing rocks bigtime!!
