“When you need security for yourself, business or your home, you want to feel confident that protection is top priority.”

– Maser Security, leading the security pack

Liz Norton’s indigenous gardens are looking amazing at the moment. We are blessed to have her creative green fingers working their magic at Southbroom!
Sanlam Cancer Challenge

The Annual Sanlam Cancer Challenge was played on Saturday.

Congratulations to the winners in the A, B & C Divisions and we wish them all the best when they go on to play in the regional finals in late July/early August.

Unfortunately B Division Winner, Peter van de Walle, will be in Chile then so runner up, Eugene Orsmond, will be the Southbroom B Div representative!

The other members representing us are Jim Cook, Gavin Sole, Michelle Davies, Lorraine Cook and Jan Humphrey.

Good luck everyone!

Captain vs Vice Captain this weekend!
It will be the usual Betterball Stableford format, together with a match vs match to decide the winning teams at the end of the day! The competition fee will have an extra R10 added as per tradition, so that the winning teams each receive a crisp R20 note back after play.
The ladies theme is Oranges & Lemons. Lady Captain Michelle Davies’ team can be dressed with a hint of yellow, and Lady Vice Captain Allyson Thomas has chosen to be in orange.

Captain Gerald Fitzgerald’s team will be in light coloured shirts, and Vice Capt Don Osbourn’s team in dark shirts.

Think about the Par 3’s you play. What is the distance that you just don’t have covered in your bag?
For most golfers, there will be a point between 170 metres and 210 metres where they just don’t have
the club to hit the target distance.
Some of you may even have a club to get to the green, but find you’re just not able to stop the ball.
Your mis-hit is short; your perfect strike, through the back.
The higher lofted Fairway Wood is a great solution for a regular to slower swing speed golfer. The deeper CoG, and usually lower profile, helps to get the ball higher with a steeper landing trajectory. The ball stops quicker.
Bring your problem distance to us. Let us spend time whether improving your technique with an existing club,
or filling the gap with a better solution. Come and spend 45 minutes with us,
and let’s see how best to fill that gap.

 
If you’re playing golf, outside of a competition, then it’s your rules that count.
 
If you’ve got some less experienced golfers in your four-ball, you’ll be surprised how much more they enjoy
the round if you play a “scramble drive”. That’s where everyone tees off, but you all play your second
shot from the position of the best tee shot.
You can still have friendly competition, but it’s likely that this is a much more social format:
you come together on the tee; for the 2nd shot; and on the green. That’s more fun together.
Try it. Try and think of different ways to play the game, to allow the less skilled the opportunity to
get much more enjoyment from the experience.

And if you need help finding more fairways on your own, then

   

Regards,
Derek and Sheena
