Good day fellow Qaccer’s,

Our End of Year game is in sight and so 2023 is busy coming to a close. Sporting wise probably the biggest news will be the Springbok RWC win. The last three games really kept us on the edge of our seats. But for the next four years, we are World champions and not a thing anyone can do about it!!

Our Protea’s cricket team suffered a humiliating loss against India earlier in the week. Seems like our guys were not on top of their game. They did not show the same tenacity that they played the tournament thus far. Perhaps best that the loss came now, in the pool games. Learn and rectify before the semi-finals.

Africa’s Major, the Nedbank Golf challenge is taking place at Sun City this weekend. Many will remember the course we played at our National event there earlier in 2023.

Our away game was played at the Wild Coast Sun on Friday the 27^th of October. The wind was in fine form. But our members still managed to score a lot of points. Interesting scoring introduced on each hole which made it very tricky and yet enjoyable. Thank you to all the members that made the trip out to Port Edward and was part of the away game.

GOLFRSA Handicap

Please remember to open a round and complete the round after every QACCS monthly game on the app. Alternatively use your card at each venue to open a round and complete your score for the day. If a member does not enter scores after their rounds, they will not be eligible for prizes/trophies at the end of Year game.

ScoreCapture

It is important to get a feel for the app. Once used, one is likely to always use the app as it makes scoring very easy. From 2024 we will be moving over to Scorecapture for our monhtly scoring alongside the physical scorecard.

QACCS National Data Base

Our National QACCS Website is up and running (https://qaccs-nationals.co.za/). The National committee has asked all regions to register their members on the website before the end of this year. The idea is so that a National Data base of each member is created and stored making it easier to register for National tournaments. Also each Qaccer from any region will be able to search the national database for any member for details when doing inter-provincial business.

There are two ways to register yourself, it takes three minutes.

Option One: Go to the QACCS national website, click on the ‘’Membership’’ tab and select ‘’Membership application’’. Fill in your details and select ‘’Existing Member’’ under the Membership question.

Option Two: Scan the QR Code with your camera on your smartphone. This will open the link directly to the ‘’Membership application’’. Fill in your details and select ‘’Existing Member’’ under the Membership question.

Once you have completed your details you will also stand a chance to win:
