KDM Juniors Update
We are excited to welcome 2 new Prentice members into the KDM family. Callum Cloete and Caleb Wood have attended development lessons regularly each week and their progress is evident. Both now have handicaps and will start competing this week Tuesday, joining all the other boys and girls who participate in John Laidlaw’s early morning competitions during the school holidays.

Dear KDM Ladies
This is double-header newsletter to make up for my absence in May. I was deep in the Amazon forest, on the River Araca, on a successful botanical adventure.

A Message From the Captain
As we move into the heart of winter, I’m delighted to share that our greens are almost back to their previous best. The recovery has been slower than usual this year, largely due to our decision to delay hollowtining for the Sunshine Tour Pro-Am event, followed by an especially wet spell.

It has been another exciting few weeks at KDM, with plenty happening both on and off the course.
Important Update to Our Members
The City of Cape Town has released a Draft Development Concept that proposes significant redevelopment of the King David Mowbray Golf Club precinct and surrounding areas. If implemented, the proposal would ultimately mean the end of our Club and its 115-year legacy of inclusion, community development, golf tourism, junior development, and support for golfers of all abilities.
A Message From the GM
As we enter another exciting year at King David Mowbray Golf Club, I would like to thank all our members for their continued support, loyalty, and contribution to the Club.
