The SWGC Ladies Committee members were taken on a guided tour around the ongoing changes to Somerset West Golf Club. It is going to be a magnificent golf course when it is completed. We can't wait for November.

Visit our website to see the progress that has been made to date.

A state trooper pulled an 87-year-old woman over for speeding.
As he looked at her driver's licence he was surprised to notice that attached to it was a concealed-weapon permit.
Taken aback, he couldn't help but ask, “Do you have a gun in your possession?”
She replied in her crackly voice, “Indeed, I do. I have a 45 automatic in the glove box.”
The trooper then asked if she had any other weapons.
She replied, “I have a 9 mm Glock in the centre console.”
The shocked trooper asked, “Is that all?”
The little old lady held up her purse and replied, "Well, I do keep a 38 special in my purse.”
Finally, the astonished trooper asked, "What are you afraid of?”
And the little old lady smiled and replied: "Nothing!"

Playing different short shots can be easier
 
The width of the sole on your wedge, and the grind on the sole, can make it easier or harder to play different short shots.
 

Does the bounce, grind or sole width on your wedges raise the leading edge or lower the leading edge?
Which works best with your experience and skill, and your angle of attack?
Which supports the different shots you like to play or the shots your loft options force you to play?

 
 
 Were you fit for your wedges? Does the design of your wedges help make your short-game easier and more effective?
Your scoring clubs are critical to the number of shots you finally register.
If you’ve never had a short-game or scoring club assessment,
 

Putting the ‘game’ into your short-game
 
We watch so many regular, and even better golfers who live with a poorer score than they need to.
 
You should be rolling greenside chip shots to
within 3 feet. If your chip shots
are finishing 2-putt distance from the hole,
then decide to improve that.
This shouldn’t be the nightmare it is for so
many golfers. How many times do you get up and
down out of 10? How many times do you leave
it the sand or miss the green?

 
 
 Invest in your short-game, it pays off. Invest in your knowledge and technique, invest in your practice,
invest in concentration. Expect more, and enjoy your golf.
