Club Champs…
It was a much better weekend weather wise for the second round of Club Champs for the B, C, Ladies & Seniors Divisions and the atmosphere was great too. Thank you to everyone that played and made the event a success and congratulations to the winners!

A reminder that Brent Goddard is the 2018 Club Champion. Ettienne Janse van Rensburg won the B–Division on 162; Dylan du Buisson won the C-Division on 76 pts; Jannie Venter won the Seniors on 71pts and Frankie Bosman is the Ladies Champion on 163.

Once again a big thank-you to all involved behind the scenes - our Captain Chris Delport; Joe, Ian and Vusi in the golf shop, Dennis and Sharon Bruyns for the scoring and Jannie and his greenkeeping staff.

The C-Division winner, Dylan du Buisson is doing the Greenkeeping Course through our Golf Management Campus. It’s interesting to note that he only started playing golf in January this year. He didn’t even own golf clubs – his set was put together with some clubs donated by David Mould, one of the chaps that works for European Tour Productions. Well done Dylan – just goes to show what is possible!

Don’t forget that the top 16 gross scores in each Division will play in the Matchplay Championships on 23rd & 24th June.

Sat, 2nd June - Sanlam Cancer Challenge & Shavathon
We’re looking forward to a bumper day in aid of Cancer on Saturday. In addition to the annual Sanlam Cancer Challenge we will be having a “Shavathon” with all money raised going to Cancer.

 

If you want to shave your head, we will charge you R90 (men) but if you simply want to show your support with a colour spray – R20 for men & R30 for ladies – you will still be doing your bit for Cancer! All the money raised will go to Cancer, so bring all your friends and family down between 08h00 – 14h00!

Sun, 3rd June - Otway & Glenn Hayes Mixed Scramble
On Sunday, Adam, Ian and their partners Riana Swart and Heidi van der Berg are throwing down the challenge – check out the video - with two pizza’s up for grabs after golf. If you lose to them, you will have to buy your own pizza! The Mixed Trophy is up for grabs and there will be prizes so make sure you join us! Affiliated Visitors pay R280 including the comp fee.

Old Timers Lunch…
It is always an honour to host our Old Timers lunches at Zwartkop. Just some of the gents in attendance last week were Herbie Prout (who started calling on Otway Hayes here at Zwartkop over 67 years ago); Cobie Le Grange (who went head to head with Jack Nicklaus to win the Australian Masters); Alan Henning (a previous SA Open winner - which he won as a teenager); Robbie Marshall (owner of Golf Data, the company responsible for building many of SA’s top golf courses); Denis Hutchinson and Modderfontein’s Mike DeVilliers.


Wingate / Waterkloof / Zwartkop Alliance
Don’t forget that we have an Alliance between ourselves; Waterkloof and Wingate, which allows you to play at their courses as members. Please do remember to follow the Rules when using the Alliance: -

• Bookings can only be made by our golf shop staff so contact Ian, Joseph or Vusi and they will make the booking on your behalf. Please do not arrive at Wingate or Waterkloof without an advance booking having being made by our staff!
• Bookings are subject to availability and can only be made one week in advance for games Monday to Friday and Sunday.
• Bookings for Saturday afternoons can only be made the day before.
• Saturday mornings are excluded from the arrangement.

Golf Library...
Members are invited to make use of the golf library, which is in the golf shop. We believe it’s the biggest library of golf books in the Southern Hemisphere. You can borrow books at no charge.

We also have an Honesty library of fiction books in the area just outside the Snooker Room. You are welcome to read these books at any time - just return them when you are done or add some of your own to the collection for other members to enjoy.

“Both these golfers see golf as a social pastime. It’s an opportunity to have an enjoyable outdoor hobby that they can enjoy with friends. They like to hit good shots but know they won’t have the time or inclination to commit to be as good they can be. But both could increase the number of good shots they hit quite easily if they looked for the easy, big wins open to most golfers.”
 
 
 

 
Your distance potential is determined to large extent by your clubhead speed and we
want to make sure you’re not losing out. We can do this using a combination of appropriate technique
adjustments and golf-specific fitness exercises.
 

Clubhead speed, as the name suggests, is the speed of the clubhead immediately before impact with the golf ball,
and it has a big impact on your potential distance.
