| Ladies Sunshine Tour Jabra Ladies Open – Glendower GC |
HUGE Congratulations to BSI Mental client, Casandra Alexander, who won the Ladies Sunshine Tour Jabra Ladies Open played on Glendower GC. Casandra played the last round bogey-free with a 66 and ended with a one-shot victory on 14 under par.
Mark Fairbank has been working closely with Casandra for four years, and the results are definitely showing. This is her 2nd win out of 2 tournaments played on the Sunshine Ladies Tour so far this year, and she tops the Order of Merit. She’s also had a 13th place finish on the Ladies European Tour so far this year.
We also would like to congratulate Nobuhle Dlamini (another BSI Mental client) on her T7th finish in the Jabra Ladies Open.
We would like to wish the ladies the best of luck when they tee it up this week in the Jo’burg Ladies Open being played at Modderfontein GC.

| BSI Football Academy - Preseason Glory! |
BSI Football Academy competed in the Olympia FC U17 Tournament last Friday and came away as champions.
The team went unbeaten in the five games they played, winning four of the five and drawing one against their Bedfordview hosts.
It was a great experience for the BSI players to showcase their skills and competitiveness against the other local clubs. The results went well but also the style that was played showed the hard work put in on the training ground is paying off.
Well done to Olympia FC for hosting a wonderful tournament. Well done to the BSI players, coaching, and support staff!

| Catch up on our previous newsletters and re-familiarise yourself with our performance tips. |
| Srixon Z-STAR has been a consistently high performer over many years, and the new Z-STAR 8 series is no different. Whether you prioritize feel and spin, or distance and speed, or all of the above, there’s a Z-STAR golf ball that’s going to help you reach your full potential. All we need to do is decide which one suits you best. |
| | | |  | | | Set up more short putts from greenside with a ball that gives you 350rpm more spin than its closest competitor. |
| | | | |  | | | Reach new parts of the fairway with a ball that’s nearly 2 yards longer than the competition. |
| | | | |  | | | Hold the green from a distance with a ball that gives you the spin of the Z-STAR and the speed of the Z-STAR XV. |
|
| | | Choose a better ball, enjoy a better game | | Come and pick up a sleeve of the new Z-STAR golf balls and experience the difference for yourself. |
