From the Founder’s Desk

 
As a proud member of two of the worldwide PGA’s, it is always a highlight of my year when BSI alumni complete their work hours and other requirements and graduate as fully qualified members of the PGA. As mentioned below, Yusuf Raidhan did so this week at the PGA’s Cape Town graduation. We will have a few more alumni take the same step at the Gauteng graduation ceremony in November.

Who are your picks for the US Open this week? Patience is always key at US Opens. I wouldn’t be looking outside the top three favourites; Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas or John Rahm.

Alumni Profile

 
Keaton has jumped the hurdles in his golf career

Name:
Keaton Slatter
BSI Programme: PGA Diploma (Class of 2016) Elite Academy Programme 2017
Current Position: Sunshine Big Easy Tour Professional (2nd year on tour)

Here’s what Keaton had to say about his experience at BSI:

“BSI helped me get over the first hurdle of competitive golf. The opportunity of practicing everyday with the facilities provided gave me the ability to improve on my game. The competitive golf every Friday, the 4-day tournaments, inter-year matchplay challenge. Also the Coaches available on the range when you need them and gym available for the whole day in the facility

I was able to understand the game a lot better with the coaches and staff that we had, and the PGA Diploma helped me to understand my swing, how to build clubs, and what techniques to use in certain situations. I can honestly say that this is a MUST DO.”
