The Joker has been found!
Congratulations to Michele Schaerer, the club's first Joker Draw Winner!

Michele, who took her time in deliberating which card to select, successfully located the Joker walking away with R157 500.


Thank you to everyone who has supported the draw and curry evening over the past few months. If you have not had an opportunity to try your hand at locating the Joker, do not despair, the new draw will commence on Wednesday evening with R50 000 up for grabs.

This week’s buffet is a delicious North Coast mutton curry and korma chicken curry with all the sides. For the sweet tooth there will be bread & butter pudding or cheese cake of the day available for dessert.



St Patrick's Day
St Patrick's Day this year will be celebrated on Saturday 17 March 2018. If you are playing a round of golf get into the Irish spirit by dressing accordingly. Prizes will be awarded for the best dressed fourball. After your round festivities will continue in the Executive Bar so come and grab a guinness or kilkenny with a delicious topping filled spud.

Looking for a 230 metre+ tee shot with an average swing speed?
Launching it higher will help. Just how high would you need to launch your tee shots?



One of the biggest differences between Tour Professionals and regular golfers is
the amount of attention the very best continually pay to their setup.

Rickie Fowler, in a Golf.com instruction piece several years ago, made the point that he continually
worked on his grip, body alignment, stance width, and his posture (including the body bend and tilt)
in practice with his caddie.


To view this short Golf.com article on Rickie Fowler’s setup,
 
 

I think most golfers can embrace Jack Nicklaus’s comment that it’s almost impossible
to hit a good shot with a poor setup. So, the question is, why don’t golfers put more effort into this
relatively simple process? Which, of the several potential reasons we’ve identified, do you think is the
cause of so many poor shots on any given day?
