Geocache Description:


In sett street a few holes of the ERPM golf course can be seen through the concrete fence. ERPM Golf Club came into being in 1903 when 3 holes were built around the first school in Boksburg, a wood and iron structure that is still standing today. The building was also used as the first clubhouse and is situated on the right hand side of the first fairway. In 1906, 18 holes were completed. The President at the time was Colonel Sir George Farrar DSO, who was instrumental in floating East Rand Property Mines Limited on 8th May 1893. The captain of the club was D McKay. The first recorded Club Champion was F N Critlends in 1913. In 1926 under the supervision of Peter Coetzer, who served the club as Secretary / Green Keeper for 51 years, the fairways were hand planted by the members, and Fir trees were planted. Some of theses trees are still a major feature of the course. Many of these old Fir trees are dying. The new club house complex was opened by the chairman Mr. Ronnie Wiggill and celebrated with a week long festival of golf. In 2004 ERPM Golf Club improved the security of the course by erecting a concrete palisade fence around the entire course. In 2005 one of ERPM’s Springbok golfers, Dean van Staden, was appointed as Green Superintendent.
