Hole in One
Congratulations to Axel Dedekind on achieving a Hole in one on the 8th Hole last Saturday the 7th November 2015. We hope you have many more.
A Hole in one is the rarest fluke in golf, the most perfect shot you can make and one that every golfer dreams of achieving.
Those who do earn bragging rights forever!

Staff Movement
Over the past few months we have had a few shifts in staff personal and I would like to keep the members informed as to who is new and in what capacity they are responsible for.
Functions and Membership:
Kayleigh Basset decided to move on a few months ago and with her position being a vital role, we decided not to rush into the appointment, but rather find the right person and in the interim we appointed Janine Gous who has just completed her Events Management Diploma based at Lourensford in an intern capacity.
She has been incredible in her managing of our events in a professional ,but we always knew that she would be moving on from the 13th December, so in the meantime we have been searching for the right person and we are happy to announce and welcome to the team Venette Wolmarans who started in November. In the past 2 weeks she has been receiving handovers from the team and getting to understand the business and we are confident that she will a great asset to Erinvale.
We wish them both the best of luck and much success.

Chef:
Chef Rufus Peterson decided to move on to find new challenges in September, and we thank him for his dedicated time at Erinvale over the years.
Saying that, we welcome Erinvale’s new Head Chef Roger Hindley. Since his appointment he has been able to bring new life to the Catering team and with the positive feedback we have been receiving from his new a la Carte Menu and function food we believe we have the right man for the job and we wish him and his team the best of luck and success.
Roger Hindley A bit about Roger:
Born and raised in the Helderberg Area. After completing my studies at Protea Technical College I started my career as Jnr Chef De partie at Erinvale Hotel under the leadership of Chef Micheal Bridgemen.I had the opportunity to experience working in Ireland during this time. I spend some time at Erinvale Hotel and worked my way up to Sous Chef.
Leaving Erinvale I had the privilege to work with international Chefs and well know Establishments like Lanzarac Hotel, The Lacaron Hotel and The Commodore Hotel.
At the age of 28 I got my first opportunity to head up a kitchen at Morgenhof wine Estate with the well known French family Mr and Mrs Cointreau. After spending 4 years with Morgenhof I got head hunted by Zorgvliet Wine Estate. Here I was running the Zorgvliet Property and the Kaingo Game reserve in Limpopo. With Zorgvliet I got a lot of media exposure with Top Billing and Pasella.
I’m also trained in the art of Charcuterie and spend some time with the well know Charcutier Steve Jeffery running The Bistro at Blaauwklippen.
