This weekend marks the 40th anniversary of the Easterns Nomads, the event will be hosted at Benoni Country Club.
We kick off on Friday evening with a Gala Dinner with many Nomads from around the country and abroad visiting the club. The Saturday hosts a full day's golf on a beautiful golf course. Nomads' new Captain, Mr Mark Ablett, and his committee have been hard at work ensuring the event is a success and from Benoni Country Club we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Easterns Nomads on 40 years of working for the furtherance of golf and charities in our country.
I would like to thank the members of Benoni Country Club too, for giving up the course in order for us to host such a prestigious event. | |  |

| | Srixon have developed and evolved a proprietary SpinSkin technology.
The cover of the golf ball has a skin that literally allows the grooves of your club face to grip the ball.
That creates additional friction and MORE SPIN.
| |  | |
| |  |  |  | | | | | Those looking for tour
performance
with leading spin rates? | Tour performance for
moderate swing speeds.
The most spin for your money? | A 2-pce ball with SpinSkin has
distance AND great greenside performance. |  | | | | |
| |  | | If you haven’t played a Srixon golf ball with SpinSkin technology, then give it a try.
Practice around the greenside. Feel the ball remain on the face for longer.
Notice how much extra spin you can create. | |  | | |

 | | | We’re two weeks in to some simple advice on how to improve your
scorecard using the Par 3 holes. They’re an opportunity for everyone.
Removing risk helps.
Simple Tip #3
Where’s the easiest and safest target? Before you even look for the flag,
find the point on the green that gives you the largest room for error.
|  | | | In this example, even going over the back of the target area marked will leave
you a chip and putt for a 3, so you’re looking at a 4 at worst. Go at the flag and the
consequences of a miss could be much greater. Even if you fly the flag and land in the bunker,
you’re then faced with a bunker shot back towards water. Going at the flag is a 2 or bust! | | |  |
You’ll be faced with a course management challenge on all approach shots,
not just Par 3’s. Try playing a round where you take a ‘safety first’ approach to every shot.
Check out your score. Is it an improvement if you play within yourself?
Course management is an important part of your game; if you’d be interested
in an accompanied round to help with your course management, | | |  | |
