The following information was obtained from two articles published well before many of us were born. The one being the “GOLF ILLUSTRATED” an overseas magazine dated July 24, 1914, and the other being a local newspaper, “THE POTCHEFSTROOM HERALD” dated September 6, 1938.
The birth of the golf course is owed to the far-sightedness of the Assistant Resident Magistrate of Potchefstroom, Mr T G Macfie, who saw the possibilities of turning the swamp area surrounding the Mooi River, by drainage, into the Meadows which later developed into the golf course.
