The Winners of the 2017 BB Matchplay are...
Dion (Tubby) Jordaan and Kenny Williams! They managed to edge past our President and Vice-Captain, Wollies and Colin. Congrats gents, and look forward to taking you on in 2018!

Colin kindly found a trophy, which both winners boasted with through the evening. The pictures are available on my cellphone, not suitable for the newsletter!

Good Friday
As is tradition, the club will be closed on Good Friday, the 30th of April.

Tour News
George Coetzee won his fourth European Tour title and his second Tshwane Open title (1st to 4th Mar) at Pretoria CC: - "A lot has happened since the last time I held that trophy. I broke my ankle and I kind of needed to show myself that I could win on Tour again and it's nice to come and do it again in front of the home crowd. They were amazing, I don't think I could have done it without everybody out here supporting me the whole week.”

• Bloem Golf Club’s Therion Nel won the Northern Cape Open at Sishen Golf Club on 6-under 282. Rounds of 70-72-68-72 saw him win by one over Casey Jarvis. Matt Saulez finished third on 2-under.

Bubba Watson is on form – and just before the Masters too… He won his second WGC title at the Dell Technologies Matchplay at the Austin CC in dominant style yesterday, beating Kevin Kisner 7 & 6 in the final after beating Justin Thomas 3 & 2 in the morning’s semi-final match. Alex Noren, no doubt spurred on by the way he lost the semi-final, won the consolation match 5 & 3. Louis Oosthuizen was the only South African to make it through to the knock-out stage of the event and he had to win Group 8’s play-off to do so. Unfortunately he was beaten 2 & 1 by Ian Poulter in the first stage.

You probably know how hard it is to find the short stuff from the tee box.
It’s fine margins at impact, so there’s an easy way to improve.


The experts continually tell us that without a good setup it’s almost impossible to hit a good golf shot.
They also note how little attention regular golfers pay to their setup. So let’s change that.
You’ve all got your smartphone. Let’s get those pictures taken!

 

 
Have a friend take a photo of you at address on the range. Check your alignment.
Check your posture and your tilt. How do your arms hang? Are you reaching or too cramped?

 

 
From face-on, check your width of stance; your ball-and-hand position; and your weight distribution.
Is your right shoulder (right-handers) lower than your left or are they level? What should they be?

If you want to hit more consistent golf shots, with cleaner, crisper contact, with the swing path and
face angle ensuring contact square to the target line, then invest some time into your setup.


If you send us the two pictures from the angles shown above, then we’ll gladly respond with some quick thoughts.
If you want us to take the photos and walk you through where you immediately can improve your setup, and therefore the quality of your golf shots, then
