| BSI Premier Cycle 3 72-Hole Medal Championship |
Well done to Jacques van der Merwe on winning the BSI Golf Premier Cycle 3 72-hole Championship with scores of 69, 74, 72 & 74, a final tally of +1. The four-day tournament was played at Royal Johannesburg & Kensington GC – East, with players experiencing four seasons, as they encountered cold and wet conditions one day, followed by hot and dry the next day.
As mentioned in last week’s newsletter, it seems Jacques did peak at the right time as he made his mark and took top honours in the end of Cycle competition. This win sees Jacques take three 1st place finishes in the last 5 BSI events. Well done Jacques and keep up the hard work on the practice range, as it is most definitely paying off on the course.
Personal Bests:
Owami Chimanyi - 74
Fred Njoroge - 76

| BSI Junior Academy Cycle 3 36-Hole Medal Championship |
Congratulations to Grant Labuschagne on his win in the BSI C3 36-Hole Championship, by beating Tawriq Abrahams with a birdie on the first play-off hole. Grant led day 1 with a score of 68 and had a tough final round 78, which still managed to keep him tied top of the leaderboard with Tawriq, both finishing 2-over par. Grant was coming into Cycle 3's 36-hole tournament with a history of runner-up places, as he has come 2nd in four previous end of Cycle Championships and was hungry to take the win. Well done for having the patience, grinding it out and keeping positive to take your first 36-hole win.
Personal Bests:
Grant Labuschagne - 68
Stacey-Lee van Gent - 81
Josh Paisley - 84 |
With the exciting Cycle 3 Championships closing out the term for our students in both our Premier and Junior Academies, we thought it would be good to have an update on our Order of Merit 2022.
With one cycle to go there are still lots of tournaments to come, and more so, lots of points up for grabs. |

In the last of our Heritage month profiles, we briefly catch up with Victor Prybylsky, 3rd Year PGA Diploma student who comes from France and is feeling quite welcome here in South Africa. Let’s hear a bit more from Victor and his golfing aspirations:
“I am from France and decided to pursue the BSI PGA Diploma because I thought it would be really useful to have the chance to train and get the finest possible preparation for a job in the golfing industry. I found out about BSI through my friend and former BSI student, Yann Ranaivoson, who introduced me to the Academy and showed me the opportunities that a PGA diploma can offer.
BSI has helped me to better orientate myself and prepare for my future career, with the help of the highly qualified coaches. When I graduate at the end of the year, I would like to follow a career in golf coaching or custom fitting, in the Middle East or the Asian markets.
As an international student, many of my peers at the Academy have been like a second family to me and we have formed close ties.
The school has a wonderful culture overall, allowing you to pursue your passion for golf, while receiving support from the coaching staff and being surrounded by peers.” |
