You need to inform Thinus. Your Pro’s best round from either Thursday or Friday, will be converted to Stableford points e.g. -5 will be 41 points etc. We will run an IPS Tournament on the 21st July and your IPS score will be combined with your Pro’s score.

Highest combined total will win The Open Championship for 2018! In the event of a tie, a playoff will be run to determine the winner!

Bookings via email only with Thinus. T-times start from 11.10 to 1pm.
The entry fee: R150 and includes prizes and a meal after.

The weather is looking very favourable for golf this week. We are continuing with normal maintenance. We also plan to administer a foliage application on the greens.

The valve boxes in rough areas are becoming a bit hazardous so we need to cut them open to ensure that players do not hurt themselves when navigating the rough.

We’re monitoring dam on 8 after the application of bentonite and hoping that it has sorted out the leak.

The grass around the greens and tee boxes is becoming quite worn. We have put up ropes to support the recovery of these areas. We appeal to all members to please stay on the cart paths around the greens and tee boxes.

Enjoy the warmer weather, especially on the golf course!
Igor

Prizes are in the Pro Shop for collection. Congratulations to the winners and thank you all for playing!

To help you find the perfect partner for you on the putting green, we’ve highlighted the importance
of matching balance to your putting stroke; and then ensuring the visual appeal is right BEFORE we get to a fitting.
But now we need to look at the length of the perfect partner for you.

Two putting styles, same golfer, two Putter lengths required. The style on the left is a pendulum style,
while the one on the right has the stroke controlled by the left shoulder and elbow.

What if I told you that many, not some but many, golfers are playing with a Putter too
long to encourage the proper rotation and therefore can’t square the face at impact?

Making sure your Putter length suits your putting style, setup and size will allow you to make a
technically sound putting stroke and to repeat it time after time.
That doesn’t just lower your scorecard, it brings you the thrill of more Putts that drop.

If you’ve already shown the athletic ability to get to 90 or threaten that score,
then it’s highly likely that we can help you improve your swing quickly to the point that you’re in the low 80’s.
The question is how quickly and easily?

If that’s a golf experience that appeals to you, then please don’t wait.
Start the journey to hitting even better golf shots.
