Elements Private Golf Reserve

2021 SA Mid-Amateur

Inter-Provincial Tournament

On behalf of GolfRSA, it gives me great pleasure to

welcome all players and managers to one of the most

highly anticipated events on the amateur golfing calendar – the South African Mid-Amateur Inter-

Provincial Tournament.

As the golfing calendar returns to something a little more normal, I’d like to remind everyone to please follow

our risk mitigation guidelines that are in place to help

keep you safe.

Please maintain social distancing, wear your masks and

use sanitizer. Although we are now back to Lockdown

Level 1, we can’t afford to become complacent about the COVID-19 virus.To those who have lost family or

friends, my sincere condolences.

Good luck to the players this week. As I look through the

team names it is clear how competitive this section of

the amateur game has become and I expect a high level

of golf to be played at a fantastic venue.

I’d like to thank our hosts this week: the Limpopo Golf

Union and Elements Private Golf Reserve, as well as all

tournament organisers, for their hard work behind the

scenes in putting together this tournament.

Grant Hepburn

GolfRSA

On behalf of the South African Golf Association, the

warmest of welcomes to the SA Mid-Amateur IPT at

Elements Private Golf Reserve.

I have no doubt that Elements will be a compelling

venue for the tournament, with many risk and reward

holes in a unique setting. The club has come a long way

since it opened in 2009 and I’m sure you will enjoy

yourselves on this testing layout.

Late SAGA president Martin Saaiman was a huge

supporter of all amateur golf tournaments and he loved

IPTs, so I’d like to take this moment to pay my respects

to him as a friend, family man and long-serving golf

administrator. He had so much passion for the game

and we miss him dearly.

My sincere thanks go to all who have been involved in

putting together the SA Mid-Amateur IPT and I’d like to

wish all the players the best of luck this week.

Have a wonderful time representing your province and

enjoy the fierce competition and cameraderie that such an event brings.

Henk Smith

Acting President

SAGA

Welcome to the the Limpopo Bushveld. It’s an honour for me to

welcome the top Mid-Amateur golfers and their managers from

all over the country here in Limpopo.

If I may start by quoting Mr Jack Nicklaus: “Success depends

almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game’s two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.”

With the quote in mind, I would like to welcome you to Elements

Private Golf Reserve. We trust that you will have a wonderful

time here in and enjoy nature, the course, and the comradeship.

On this note, I want to thank Elements staff and the homeowners for allowing us to host this prestigious event here.

Elements is an amazing estate and I’m sure that you will be

blessed with a superb golf course, amazing wildlife, and

hospitality of note.

Remember, between all the rivalry, to still make time to have fun,

smile and laugh, take in your surrounding and remember how

blessed we are to play this beautiful game we love so much.

The late president of SAGA, Martin Saaiman, had a passion for

golf and he had a love for Bushveld golf in Limpopo. I know he

will be looking down on us this week in awe of the golf on

display and the sportsmanship between teams.

May Elements and the picturesque Limpopo Bushveld bring the

best golf out of you. Remember, talent wins games but

teamwork and never giving up wins championships.

“Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad

breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots

- but you have to play the ball where it lies.” – Bobby Jones.

Thinus Labuschagne

President

Limpopo Golf Union

Welcome to Limpopo Province and to Elements Private Golf

Reserve.

It is an honour and a privilege to host the 2021 SA Mid-

Amateur IPT at Elements Private Golf Reserve.

The Reserve is situated in the southern Waterberg area and

prides it self on the concept of having a world class golf

course that is integrated into a natural bushveld setting. This

does not follow the typical golf estate layout which floods the edge of the golf course with houses. Owners and guests are

provided with a true African bushveld experience on and off the course.

Eighteen holes of pure joy and excitement, not forgetting the

many risk-and-reward holes, create an ideal facility for

hosting a match play tournament of this standard.

The Reserve hosts a variety of indigenous buck species and

bird life that is sought after in this area.

Please enjoy our hospitality and we look forward to assist in

making this a memorable week for all.

Stay safe and play well.

The Elements golf course is an unsurpassed Peter

Matkovich design that has been rated in the Top 30

golf courses of South Africa for the last 10 years.

The surrounding bushveld terrain varies between

natural hillsides and open plains, with mountain views

and perennial streams. The golf course meanders

through a fertile valley of indigenous vegetation and

artful landscaping.

Wildlife species found on course include Kudu,

Impala, Blue Wildebeest, Zebra, Blesbok, Red

Haartebeest and Mountain Reedbuck.
