To all at Metropolitan Golf Club,
My name is De Waal Botha, I am newly appointed as the Pro Shop Manager here at the Metropolitan and I am very excited to be part of the Metropolitan family. I grew up on a farm outside of Worcester, so I am very much Afrikaans. I will try my best to accommodate you in English.
I am a member of the PGA as a club professional and I am a proficient golfer. I currently play off a 0 handicap.
I left my job as Assistant Golf Manager at De Zalze Golf Club at the end of February after being there for almost 4 years. With De Zalze as the foundation to my knowledge and experience, I feel that I have a lot to offer to the members and guests at the Metropolitan Golf Club.
I am very happy to work with a great team at the Metropolitan Golf Club and would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff and members of the club for helping me settle into my new position and the club.
I cannot wait to get to know you all better and form great relationships going forward.
Kind Regards, De Waal Botha

| 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? | | |
