This week saw the welcome return of our students back to the classroom for both our junior and college programmes, following the relaxation of restrictions. Even though our academic programmes pivot well into remote learning, there is nothing better than having the students on site again for that personal touch.

The Olympic Men’s Golf Tournament starts this week with a decent field of players. We wish Garrick Higgo and Christiaan Bezuidenhout the best of luck in representing South Africa.

What’s happening at BSI?

Our students are swinging back into action

It’s great to have our students back on campus and getting back into the full swing of things. The morning Energiser Sessions are always an awesome hit as it invigorates everybody before a full day of theory and practical learning.

Performance Tip

Warm up for winter golf

With the onset of last weeks cold-snap we thought it would be important to high-light the importance of warming up, be it in hot conditions and most definitely in cooler climates.

Here is some advice from our resident Sports Scientist, Renee Reinecke.

Not Just Golf

Welcome back!

We are all so happy to welcome our students back onto campus this week. After a few weeks of not having the opportunity to see our Academy students in person, it was with great joy to see our study centre being used again. There is a nice buzz once more amongst the students and seeing the interaction between students and staff is encouraging.
