Rest in Peace Arno Cilliers

It is with such sadness and a heavy heart that I need to inform you that our brave little cancer warrior, Arno Cilliers, ran into the arms of Jesus this morning. The battle is over now, he is at peace and free from pain. Arno was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma cancer on the 31st of August 2022. The cancer was very aggressive and was resistant to various treatment plans.

To Arno`s family:
Please accept our deepest sympathies for the loss of your baby boy. We pray that the light of God’s love shine upon you as you face the darkness of your pain and your grief. Know that God will never forsake you. He will always look after you because you are His child and He is your Father. May you be blessed with the peace and comfort that you seek during this difficult time.

Lamentations 3:31-33:
“For the Lord will not cast off forever. Though He causes grief, yet He will show compassion according to the multitude of His mercies. For He does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men”.

May God give you all the grace to accept what has happened, and the serenity to carry on living.

All our love,
Karin Harmse & AOM Team.

Arno`s “Guided by Faith” bracelets will be available until the 15th of March 2023. Please contact the AOM agent closest to your area to place an order or shop online here.

“Based in the western suburb of Rant-En-Dal, – loosely translated from Afrikaans as ”Hills and Valleys” – Krugersdorp Golf Club is one of the oldest clubs on the West Rand. You are very much out in the country when playing this fine golf course, and the huge variety of colourful bird life, indigenous trees, shrubbery, wild, exotic flowering plants and gardens which inhabit the area make the players stroll against this picturesque African backdrop an extremely pleasant and gratifying visual experience.

At a length of 6426 metres from the club tees, Krugersdorp’s stunning par 72 championship layout is a tough but fair test of golf, and this fine piece of course architecture and design requires intelligent, accurate play from tee to green and a good touch when you find them! Depending on the individuals’ prowess, the four outstanding par fives are reachable in two powerful blows but, more often than not, the cautious three-shot route to the green will result in a safe par or possible single-putt birdie. The ten par fours which nestle perfectly into Krugersdorp’s gently rolling and undulating landscape never look out of place and demand accuracy and shape of shot from the tee in order to leave a choice of long, medium and short iron approaches into well protected, fast, undulating greens. Hit the target on four par threes of matchless beauty and a birdie or safe par could be your reward, but danger awaits any misshits or loose play in the form of heavy rough, water and substantial bunkering, thereby placing the golfers short game skills under close scrutiny.

The comfortable clubhouse with its large, thatched African ”Lapa” (gazebo) is the perfect place to wind down after a pleasant round of golf with a long, cold drink in hand, viewing yet another stunning African sunset! Serviced by a highly efficient, friendly staff, Krugersdorp has full bar, restaurant and conference facilities and its affable members will be only too glad to join visiting groups of fellow golfers and help them navigate their way through what can be a long and difficult nineteenth hole!”
