The Club originated in 1994 as the Happy hackers
and was formerly owned and run by Roger Manning,
from Huddle Park Golf Course.

The club started with 16 members and grew to 170
within the first year of business. Membership continued
to grow and by the end of 1999,
Happy Hackers had a member count of 1300,
at which time, the business was purchased
by MoreGolf.

In June 2001, the business was offered back to Roger,
who then changed the clubs' name to Social Golf Alliance.
In the course of this period, Roger pursued Hillside
Golf Course in Pretoria North and incorporated
SGA memberships with the golf course.

By the end of December 2006, SGA's offices
were moved from Edenvale to the premises of
Hillside Golf Course and due to various business
commitments, Roger decided to down size and sell the
business in February 2008, to one of his long
standing employees, Gerda Pool.

Being involved with Social Golf Alliance since 2001,
Gerda has the required expertise to have taken over
ownership and management of the club. After the
purchase agreement was concluded, the offices of
Social Golf Alliance moved back to Johannesburg.
