HOA GOLF DAY 2020

Saturday 19 September - Eagle Canyon Country Club

Our Annual Eagle Canyon HOA Golf Day was held on Saturday 19 September 2020. Despite the effect that Covid-19 and Lockdown has had on us all and socialising, we believe that it was important to continue the tradition of this annual event that aims at raising money for our chosen charities. The morning, Members Field, saw 140 of our Golf Members (and invited guests) take to the course, with the open Field reserved for our Residents to enjoy a game of golf.

The day is more than about getting out onto the Golf Course, with all proceeds raised going to charity. The beneficiaries of this year’s event were The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA), SPCA and The Supper Foundation.

The morning began with registration and each golfer received a goodie bag with information on the chosen charities, sun block (sponsored by CANSA) and some treats to keep them going on the course. A complimentary breakfast was served on the putting green before Tee off.

At around 09h00 the much anticipated STASH THE CASH in partnership with main sponsor Kia Bryanston was held. Each participant was given 30 seconds to scour the interior of the luxurious Kia Sedona for either a white or orange sticker, which would guarantee a R200 spot prize. To add to the fun, a black sticker was hidden in a more intricate place that could garner the finder R1 000 in cash. Members and Residents alike had great fun, with 20 R200 cash prizes handed out. Unfortunately, no one managed to find the hidden black sticker.

The afternoon field saw 128 golfers checking in, with a braai on the putting green before Tee-off. With a storm brewing overhead, the Golfers retreated to Halfway House to wait out the lightening and rain, before being cleared to go back out and enjoy a few more holes.

The day culminated with a prize giving in Coppa Bar, with all Covid-19 regulations adhered to. Delicious snack platters were served and great prizes handed out. The highlight of the day was the Eagle Canyon Homeowners Association CEO, Deidre Le Hanie, handing over a giant R20 000 cheque to each Charity, wrapping up an incredible day dedicated to a good cause.
