ACHIEVERS CHALLENGE @ GRACELAND CASINO & CC
7, 8 & 9-12 December 2007
What better way to bring the year to an end than a fun-filled tournament for members of the South African Hole-in-One Society at the ever-popular golfing destination… Graceland Hotel, Casino & Country Club?
This wonderful golfing and leisure resort is the ideal venue for
- the Society’s new-style tournaments…
- more relaxed, more fun, more value for money.
- But the same friendship and camaraderie.
And we are planning more fun for this tournament than ever before!
This year’s tournament will be earlier in November than in the past…allowing a break between the tournament and the Nedbank Challenge, so now there is no excuse to skip one to attend the other!
The hotel has once again given the Society superb package prices and these, coupled with the unmatched levels of service and support from the hotel as well as the unique and ideal setting for a Society tournament, are certain to attract the usual large field. We also look forward to welcoming a large number of new members who will be attending their first Society tournament.
As always, three accommodation packages are available for guests staying in the hotel and there is also a special package for non-residents:
o For those who want a longer stay, Package 1 starts on the Wednesday.
o Package 2 starts on Thursday
o Package 3 guests arrive on Friday.
Guests arriving early on their arrival day are welcome to pay the additional green fees and join the day’s fun. The tournament ends with a prizegiving party on the Sunday evening and guests depart after breakfast on Monday.
For more information about this tournament or any other event of the Society,
please call 021-713-1282 or e-mail us at info@hiosociety.com
The programme for this very special tournament is:
Wednesday 7 November:
Package 1 guests arrive and check-in. For those who want to play an optional round today, this can be arranged through the Pro Shop on arrival. Join us for a pre-dinner drink on the Pool Terrace and the chance to meet the rest of the early arrivals before we get together for an optional dinner in the Blue Bayou restaurant.
Thursday 8 November:
Golf for Package 1 guests today is a BetterBall Stableford competition. Early arrivals for Package 2 are welcome to pay the green fees and play in the competition. For the non-golfers we have arranged a relaxed morning’s entertainment to get you in the mood. Prize-giving will take place immediately after the golf and for dinner this evening we have arranged an optional “night out in the American Café” …always fun and a great way to get into the swing of things.
Friday 9 November:
The traditional Friendly Friday Alliance is guaranteed to bond friendships both old and new! Early arrivals for Package 3 are welcome to pay the green fees and play in the competition as long as they advise us in advance. Alternatively, they can play an optional round of golf later in the day. The non-golfers can enjoy another fun-filled morning, with a surprise waiting for you.
The putting competition this afternoon will allow everyone to get used to the speed of the greens and into the spirit by meeting everyone on the practice green.
The evening kicks off with a wine tasting hosted by The Wine Wizards, who will be presenting a select range of wines guaranteed to find favour on everyone’s palates.
The tasting will be followed by dinner with prizegiving and live entertainment, after which the casino awaits to entertain you and possibly surprise you with a jackpot win!
Saturday 10 November:
Today is a Betterball Stableford competition, with a number of new serious and fun additions to the prize-categories. The non-golfers’ programme for today is relaxed and casual, but everyone can look forward to the usual fun and laughter.
The traditional Society Shootout will be held immediately after the day’s round and with a number of new additions to the past traditions is not to be missed. And be sure to receive your glass of spirit on the way to the tee!
This evening we have planned an optional outing to a nearby restaurant
with live entertainment… it’s going to be a night to remember!
Sunday 11 November:
The competition today is an Individual Stableford competition for A, B and C Divisions as well as a separate prize-table for the non-members. Another morning of fun has been arranged for the non-golfers with loads of sparkle. The tournament’s activities come to an end with dinner on the pool terrace which includes prize-giving and live entertainment…and the traditional Amarula is back by popular demand.
Monday 12 November:
After breakfast and final farewells to friends new and old it is sadly time to leave, but the memories of the tournament will still be with you for a long time to come.
