Sakelui en boere van Bloemhof wat die munisipale nege-putjie-gholfbaan vyf jaar gelede oorgebou en opgeknap het nadat dit vervalle geraak het, se werk het vrugte afgewerp toe Mind Olifant, \u2019n plaaswerker, vroe\u00ebr in April as die gholfkampioen gekroon is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Olifant, wat op \u2019n voorgee van 12 speel, s\u00ea hy is verheug oor di\u00e9 erkenning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is al 13 jaar \u2019n baljoggie vir Dirk de Beer, my werkgewer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy het voorgestel ek word \u2019n klublid en speel saam. Dit was wonderlik om die kampioenskap te wen, hoewel dit \u2019n moeilike wedstryd was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk oefen in die week oor middagete op die driving range<\/span> wat op die plaas gebou is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSaterdae is ek \u2019n baljoggie en Sondae speel ek op die dorp se baan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Olifant beplan om in meer kompetisies en vir die provinsie te speel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n De Beer, wat president van die Bloemhof-gholfklub is, Bennie Hoepfner, Theo van der Linde, Jean Steenkamp en Michiel Botha was die brein agter die opknapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Phillip Smith, nog \u2019n leidende gees en \u2019n bestuurslid \u00e9n ook een van die aanvoorders, s\u00ea die baan was heeltemal vervalle, met wilde gras wat die putjies oorgeneem het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie Lekwa-Teemane-munisipaliteit besit die grond, maar Magalies Water suiwer die water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHul pompstasie en \u2019n dam is aan die kant van die gholfbaan gevestig, en drie putjies het in die uitbreiding van die watersuiweringsaanleg verlore gegaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns het daarom drie nuwe putjies elders gebou en die gras hervestig. Gelukkig was die terrein groot genoeg om dit te kon doen. Gesuiwerde rioolwater word vir besproeiing gebruik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie standaard van die baan is uiters goed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die klub is in 1906 deur delwers aan die gholfklub geskenk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Teen 2019 het boere en sakelui die baan begin opknap nadat \u2019n ooreenkoms met die munisipaliteit aangegaan is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die baan is in die Covid-19-pandemie geopen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie uitleg is oorgedoen en verskillende groepe mense het verantwoordelikheid vir elk putjie se opknapping aanvaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie belangrikste was die aanl\u00ea van ondergrondse besproeiing en pompe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBoere het die arbeid en toerusting geskenk. Spesiale gras is aangel\u00ea en masjiene aangekoop om die bane in stand te hou.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gholf is lewend in die streek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Inwoners van die aangrensende dorp Christiana speel ook op di\u00e9 baan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie dorpe Bloemhof, Hartswater, Jan Kempdorp en Christiana speel in \u2019n liga teen mekaar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Smith s\u00ea sportklublede moet self inspring om parke en sportbane in die dorp te onderhou, en Dirlyn Boerdery en JCS Farming dra geldelik by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie munisipaliteit doen dit nie meer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Michiel Botha, voorsitter van die gholfklub, s\u00ea almal in die dorp het bygedra en saamgewerk om die gholfbaan op te knap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNou word die baan ook vir pretdraf-geleenthede soortgelyk aan parkrun gebruik. Op 27 April is \u2019n marathon van Christiana na Bloemhof gehou en op 1 Mei is daar ook \u2019n pretdraf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns is van borge afhanklik. Spesiale gholfdae word gehou om geld in te samel om die jaarlikse onderhoud te betaal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie proses is aan die gang vir \u2019n vaste kontrak met die munisipaliteit om die grond te huur en bestuur.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die opknappingswerk aan die munisipale gholfbaan het vrugte afgewerp toe Mind Olifant, \u2019n plaaswerker, as die
