Your BSI Matchplay Knockout Champion 2021 is …
Jules Helary! |
 | | | This is the one major individual event of the year, where College, Academy and Junior Academy students all compete for ONE trophy. Congratulations to Jules Helary, who after 10 months and a 37-hole final, took full honours to be crowned BSI Matchplay Champion 2021, by defeating fellow BSI Academy member Ryan Estment in an exciting match. | |
Jules led all the way up to the 36th hole, having been 4 up at one stage. Having reeled Jules in to be only 1 down playing the last hole, Ryan drained a 30-foot eagle putt to force a play-off. Jules stayed calm, however, and sunk his birdie putt on the 1st extra hole to be claimed the ultimate winner, and is our BSI Matchplay Knockout Champion 2021!
Watch Jules’ interview below, after the emotionally and physically draining day. |
| Congratulations to Sean Paxton and Reece Mckain on their joint win on Wednesday, 24 November in the BSI Golf Premier Medal, with scores of 72 on Royal Johannesburg and Kensington East Course. |

| | | Who will come out on top? | | Order of Merit 2021 | |
This week sees our final event for the year, our 72-hole Championship for both Order of Merits. There are still lots of points up for grabs for our OoM contenders over the next three days at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Course.
The OoM in the Premier Division sees only 6 278 points separating Reece Mckain, Heinrich Prinsloo and Jordan van Niekerk in the Top 3 positions. All three are experienced campaigners, and it promises to be an exciting finale. |
| Our Junior Academy OoM leader is Michael Wallace, with Tawriq Abrahams and Vuyisani Makama both in great form, and in close pursuit. We can’t wait to see these talented young players battle it out over the next three days. |
| Good luck to all the contenders. They are all in it to win it! |
| | | Putting our skills to the test | | 3rd Years vs Staff | |
| The ‘MAIN EVENT’ for any 3rd Year PGA Diploma Student’s time at BSI |
After nearly 36 months of learning, practicing, conditioning, experiencing highs and lows, training, hundreds of hours in the gym, hitting thousands of golf balls, preparing mentally on all fronts, it boiled down to one day of bringing it all together to take on the staff of BSI!
Well done to all who participated and congratulations to the ‘experienced’ staff team for taking the ‘W’!
