Hey Golfers, Gimmies, and Guessing Geniuses! |
Quiz Night! We’re talking about a night where the only thing sharper than your short game will be your wit (and maybe a few strategically placed guesses!) Our pro team is cooking up a quiz that’s guaranteed to have you laughing, scratching your head in delightful confusion, and possibly even doing a happy dance when you nail that impossible question. Think of it as a mental obstacle course, but with more laughs and fewer sand traps!
And what’s a quiz night without some glorious prizes? We’ve got bar tabs up for grabs to keep those tongues loose and minds open – because let’s be honest, a little liquid courage never hurt anyone’s trivia skills! To secure your spot at this brain-bending, belly-laughing extravaganza, simply click on the poster above and hit that “Book Here” button (bottom right, you can’t miss it!) We’re expecting a full house, so don’t get stuck in the rough – book your team’s spot now!
Now, for a little extra fun! Do you have a burning question you’ve always wanted to see in a quiz? Or perhaps a specific golf rule you’d love us to incorporate (or hilariously twist)? We’re all ears!
While this isn’t essential for booking, it’s your chance to leave your mark on the night! And speaking of St Francis Links being a hole-in-one rich course, we’ve got a special brain-teaser for those of you lucky (or unlucky!) enough to make a hole-in-one on a busy day: how many high-fives do you really have to give?
We can’t wait to see your smiling faces and competitive spirits. Let the games begin! |
Titleist takes over St Francis Links for the day |
Are you not convinced that your clubs are perfect for you?
Well, mark your calendars. On Monday, August 25th, our very first fitting day with none other than the undisputed heavyweight champion of golf equipment: Titleist!
That’s right, folks, the brand synonymous with precision, performance is in town – here to elevate your game from “not bad” to “wow, you are good.” Whether you’re a seasoned scratch golfer, a weekend warrior aiming to shave a few strokes off your handicap, or a budding beginner just trying to keep the ball out of the water hazards (we’ve all been there!), this is your time.
The brilliant minds behind Titleist’s cutting-edge technology, the very same “gents who fit the best in the world,” will be on hand to analyze your swing, understand your needs, and build a set of clubs that fit you like a glove. Simply email the Pro Shop to confirm your attendance, or click the button below. |
Have you been to the Golf Shop lately? |
Our trained ladies and team of golfing professionals are ready to assist you in getting the most out of your game! Choosing the right golf ball is crucial (and can be a little confusing) to really get the most out of your game and your golfing experience.
Balls come in two-piece, three-piece, and multi-layer designs, catering to different player preferences and swing characteristics – which one suits you?
Two-piece balls offer resilience and distance, while three-piece and multi-layer balls provide spin control and feedback. Compression ratings also influence distance and feel. Low-compression balls are suitable for slower swing speeds, while high-compression balls are for faster swing speeds. Ask Nazeem or Carel and they will match you up with the ball best suited to get you off the tee and in play, as well as having that ball spin and putt the way you see on television. |
Hollow-tining and away games |
Our amazing course maintenance team will be taking on the task of hollow-tining and reseeding from the 18th to the 31st of August 2025.
This means, sadly, that the course will be closed during this period. We know, we know, it’s a tragedy of epic proportions! But fear not, Golf Enthusiasts because we’ve cooked up some delightful alternatives to ease the pain of losing our beloved course for this very worthy (and necessary) cause.
We’ve arranged some away golf trips and reciprocity with surrounding courses to keep your swing in tip-top shape. Nazeem will be hosting a group of 20 to play at Wedgewood on Thursday, August 21st, teeing off between 8:30 AM and 9:10 AM. The green fees are R280, and the cart fee is R340.
Carel will be hosting a group of 20 to play at Pezula. The date is the 28th of August and times are to be confirmed.
Please email the Pro Shop if you would like to join either.
And, to keep your game sharp during the course closure, we’ll be keeping the range open from 08h00 to 17h00 daily, except Mondays when it will be closed. We have also been approached by several courses that will be offering improved rates over this period. The courses offering improved rates are: Wedgewood, St Francis Bay, Humewood, Knysna, and Goose Valley. |
Get ready to get Eclectic! |
We’re thrilled to announce our Eclectic Competition, running from 1 June to 30 September 2025.
For those new to the term, “eclectic” isn’t just a fancy word for “a bit of everything” – it means you get to pick your best score on each hole over the entire competition period. In short – golf’s greatest hits! This isn’t a one-and-done deal, however, you need to be consistent!
To truly conquer the eclectic, you need to be out there, rain or shine. Every individual Strokeplay/Stableford round counts! That seemingly insignificant tap in on a blustery Wednesday could be the difference between bragging rights … or some banter being sent around in “The Bunker” (that’s the new lower section in Jack’s Bar!)
Overcoming these “obstacles” is what separates the contenders from the “I’d rather join the knitting club” crowd. To keep you on the edge of your golf carts, we’ve got real-time leaderboards set up on ScoreCapture.
Check them out regularly to see where you stand and who you need to beat. |
A Little Bit of Housekeeping |
Handicap and Entering Scores Notice |
We have noticed an increase in rounds not being closed or entered correctly the past 2 weeks and would like to remind golfers that it is their responsibility to enter a score – Any penalty rounds incurred will not be removed or adjusted going forward – this will have a negative effect on your handicap.
We ask that you please be mindful and enter your scores.
In addition to this – if you have more than two penalty rounds in your list of active scores relating to your handicap calculation, we will not allow you to enter club competitions.
Should you be interested in playing at any of these courses, please inform us by sending an email to Proshop@Stfrancislinks.com and we will secure that booking for you. |

BUILD our social network
|
Golf, for anyone who might feel a little isolated, is a tremendously social game. It’s more social than running. It’s more social than cycling. And, it’s fun and healthy too. That’s why we’d like your help in building our social network by introducing a woman to golf. |
If you know a woman who you think could enjoy the health, lifestyle, social and fun benefits of golf, please introduce them to us. Or let them know we’ve got great coaches and fun introductory programmes. |
