So just like that, the 28th Men’s Amateur Classic has come and gone. Great weather met the golfers with four glorious days showcasing Southbroom and the South Coast as the most pleasant place to spend a winter! Once again it was a hotly contested affair, with many teams in the running for most of the tournament. Taking control of the final two days and winning were Ig Erasmus & Rudie Venter  and coming second were Rob Meydell and Peter (Pierre) van der Walle. Well Done Gentlemen!

A total of 12 South Africans have made it to the Open Championship at Carnoustie this year. It is fantastic to see us so well represented. It is always fun to watch ‘links golf’ as the players plot their way around the course, it seems as though staying out of the bunkers this week is an absolute must!
The Titleist British Open Special is buy any dozen balls of Titleist and go into a Southbroom draw to win the Titleist Limited Edition Golf Bag!

To help you find the perfect partner for you on the putting green, we’ve highlighted the importance
of matching balance to your putting stroke; and then ensuring the visual appeal is right BEFORE we get to a fitting.
But now we need to look at the length of the perfect partner for you.
Two putting styles, same golfer, two Putter lengths required. The style on the left is a pendulum style,
while the one on the right has the stroke controlled by the left shoulder and elbow.
What if I told you that many, not some but many, golfers are playing with a Putter too
long to encourage the proper rotation and therefore can’t square the face at impact?
 
Making sure your Putter length suits your putting style, setup and size will allow you to make a
technically sound putting stroke and to repeat it time after time.
That doesn’t just lower your scorecard, it brings you the thrill of more Putts that drop.

If you’ve already shown the athletic ability to get to 90 or threaten that score,
then it’s highly likely that we can help you improve your swing quickly to the point that you’re in the low 80’s.
The question is how quickly and easily?
If that’s a golf experience that appeals to you, then please don’t wait.
Start the journey to hitting even better golf shots.

   

Regards,
Derek and Sheena
