Valentine's Joker Draw and Curry Evening
Christine Nel was unlucky in her endeavour to locate the Joker amongst the 22 remaining cards last Wednesday evening, instead walking away with a R500 Benoni Country Club gift card. An enjoyable evening was had by all members and visitors who came down for the clubs special Valentine's Day Draw. The evening was kicked off with a welcome shooter and rounded off with a performance by the Benoni High School pipe band.

If you would like to try your hand at locating the Joker this week Wednesday 21 February 2018, bookings are open and tables can be booked with Delia on 011 849 5211.

On the curry buffet is meatball curry and thai green chicken curry served with sides of basmati rice, popodums, lime pickle, cucumber and tomato sambles.

See you at the club!




On the menu this Friday, delicious gourmet beef and chicken burgers that the whole family will enjoy. Be entertained by the sounds of Billy Loxton and enjoy a relaxed evening out.

Great fun was had by all that participated in the social on Sunday 18th February. Please join us every Sunday morning for Pitch n Play.

Members are enjoying improvements made to the tennis club. We are planning a golf day on the 18th April 2018 to raise funds for more improvements, so save the date!



Cleveland have brought metalwood forgiveness and distance to the Cleveland Launcher CBX Irons.
They’ve also brought short game precision.

You’re looking for consistently solid contact, and a ball flight that is less vulnerable to debris and water.
 
   
As in the Cleveland Wedges, the
sweet spot is moved more central to the face
(face balancing). You’ll find the
hitting zone more frequently. 		 Tour zip grooves then create a more
consistent spin on the golf ball
even in light rough
and / or wet conditions. 
 
 And, as you’d expect from the leading Wedge designers,
a sole design that works more effectively
with the turf at contact.
 
 

We think that hitting great mid and longer iron approach shots is an exhilarating feeling.
We think hitting precise shorter approaches, even from the light rough, provides real fulfillment out
on the course. We want to upgrade as many golfers’ approach shots as possible this year.
The right fitted equipment or a better swing or both.
 


If you’re shooting above 89 on most visits to the golf course, then now is the time to make a leap.
In the last two weeks we’ve provided two tips for those looking to break 90 every round.
Both of those tips have been linked to keeping the ball in play. But the fact is that, if you’re a
regular or inexperienced golfer, then you will rarely be hitting greens in regulation. So…
 
 
On almost every hole you’ll have a 10-to-50-metre final shot into the green. This is a shot you should perfect so that you never take more than 3 to get down. Getting up and down in 2 is a bonus.
 
 
 
 

Three suggestions:
Learn a good short pitch shot and chipping technique.
Practise your short pitch shots and chipping. Never get greedy
(make sure you’re on the green before worrying about how close).

 

If you’ve never had a pitching / chipping lesson, and you’re not Breaking 90 on each visit to the course,
then we’re betting this is an area where you can make up shots. If you don’t have a technique or ability
to get down in 3 or less every time from within 50 metres, then
