We were fortunate to be able to complete our end of cycle tournaments last week, thanks to the swift action and efforts of Royal Johannesburg & Kensington GC in keeping the facility open and safe. I’m also grateful to my staff who stepped up
tremendously during a challenge week.
We now have a cycle break until after Easter, so the 21-day lockdown won’t immediately affect our programmes. Our staff are already working from home and are preparing to provide all of our programmes remotely during cycle 2 if required.
We’re still available on email at info@bsisports.com for any enquiries and are actually conducting remote interviews this week for 2021 enrolment.
Go check out our programs at bsisports.com and use the time wisely to plan and prepare for your future career in golf.
Look who claimed gold!

This kind of improvement doesn’t happen without
commitment, dedication and changes in daily habits. Here’s what Christiaan had to say about the process;
“I just changed my mindset a bit on and off the course. I tried to build up as much positive energy before every round that I play and even before I go and do some practice. I started analysing my rounds afterwards to figure out where I lack in
consistency and where I can improve my game, and I would only go out to a range or chipping and putting green to work on certain areas in which I struggled. Just hard work and maximum focus and a positive mindset every day.”
