11 October 2022
Good day fellow Qaccers,
The end of the year is in sight, apart from our away game at Cotswold downs, only our last game of the year remains. We as Committee are looking forward to hosting you all at our final game at Royal Durban. Much planning is being done behind the scenes currently to ensure we match up to last year’s final game and prize giving ceremony.
Membership Report
Our target for membership beginning of 2022 was to get our full time membership up to sixty (60) members. We unfortunately had a few longstanding members leave us this year due to various personal reasons. However I am very proud and excited about the many new members we managed to enrol this year. It will remain a priority for 2023 from the Committee and each member to encourage visitors to come play at our monthly games. Ultimately these visitors soon join the QACCS team. Thank you everyone who brought visitors throughout the year, and to those members who welcomed visitors openly at each game, making them feel part of the team, thank you.
2022 in Review
My last Newsletter for 2022 will be coming to you all in the beginning of December and we will be recapping another great year for the QACCS KZN branch. Taking us back to our National victory in East London to our monthly games and memories created in 2022.
Milworth Cup and Plate
The Milworth Cup Final has been played and the 2022 victors were Eduard Bisschoff and Hugo Britz! Narrowly topping Steve Cooper and Grant Poppesqou at Durban Country Club. There are not many
QACCS KZN trophies that do not have either Grant or Steve or both their names on them. They have been a formidable team and always fun to be part of a match play event against them. Thank you all the members that played in the Milworth this year. We are looking forward to 2023 event.
However we still have the all-important Milworth Plate final between Jannie Bisschoff and Brendon Quail against Patrick Pinn and Vincent Regaud. This game will be played at Royal Durban on the 24th of November. Good luck guys!

Monthly Games
Our October game was played at DURBAN COUNTRY CLUB on the 04th and the course was in top condition.
Following the long hiatus for Country Club repairing flood damages, the course was playing like we expected and always a great venue to host a QACCS golf game. We had a four ball alliance with two scores to count. And although we had 30 members partake on the day, it was a great day away from the office.
Thank you to Clint Jacoby for handing the Fines on the evening.
Away Game – Cotswold downs
Please remember our away game at Cotswold downs Golf Estate is Thursday the 20th of October. We still have limited space for a few members that want to join us on the day. The time sheet have now been issued by Helen.
