 GREETINGS FROM YOUR DGC TEAM | BRINGING YOUR CLUB CLOSER 
Congratulations Jordan Rothman on winning a place in the Bridge-fund Junior Series Finals to be held a little later this year. The only girl to win a spot. Jordan has gone from strength to strength, finishing 2017 on a true scratch handicap. We wish you all the best for 2018. Kind regards, Florence Harding Lady Captain See below an article about Jordan’s latest achievement: WGSA (Womens Golf South Africa) January 17 Rothman qualifies for Bridge Fund finals CAPE TOWN, 17 January 2018 - Jordan Rothman, a 15-year-old pupil at Curro Durbanville, has become the first girl to qualify for the finals of the Bridge Fund Managers Junior Series, a national series of 18 events sanctioned by GolfRSA. In the finals in April 2018, Jordan will compete against some of the country’s best U-19 boys for the grand prize of an all-expenses paid trip to the USA to play in the prestigious Junior North and South Championship at Pinehurst.
Her sporting life was transformed when she discovered golf. “My dad plays and I thought if I started playing I’d get to spend more time with him,” says Jordan. “So, I went to the driving range with him and when we got home he said to my mom ‘this girl can really hit a ball’. He told me if I’d prove my commitment to the game by hitting 1000 balls at the practice range, he would sign me up for lessons.” Just two months later she eagerly reported to her dad Ian Rothman that she had hit 1400! The lessons began and so did her speedy rise up the national rankings. Jordan’s career highlights so far include beating WGSA senior number 1 Kajal Mistry in the second round of the Sanlam SA Women's Amateur last year and being part of the title winning Western Province team at the SA Women’s Interprovincial Championship in 2017. Four putting the 18th at Durbanville was a painful reminder of the cruelty of the golfing gods, but Jordan has an unusual way of coping with inevitable miss-hits: “I am a big daydreamer on the course, which keeps my mind off the bad shots.” Speaking of dreams, Jordan’s goal is to hone her craft on the challenging college circuit in the USA, before turning professional. She got invaluable career advice from South Africa’s greatest woman golfer and Major Champion Sally Little. “I met Sally Little at Kuils River Golf Club last year. She congratulated me on my play and invited me join her for two rounds at Metropolitan Golf Club, which was a privilege,” says Jordan. Her goal of competing in the USA could come sooner than planned if Jordan brings her A-game to the Bridge Junior Series finals in April 2018. The nation’s best boy golfers will need to keep a watchful eye on their skirt-clad daydreaming rival. “We got involved with the series to boost junior golf and we have been delighted to see several players from the SA Golf Development Board excel in the nine events held so far,” says Paul Stewart, Executive Director at Bridge Fund Managers. “It has also been terrific to see the likes of Crystal Beukes and now Jordan Rothman flying the flag for girl golfers. Providing opportunities for this rich pool of young talent will ensure a very bright future for South Africa golf.” PHOTO - Western Province 15-year-old Jordan Rothman is the first girl qualifier in the 2018 Bridge Fund Managers Junior Series, a national series of 18 events sanctioned by GolfRSA; credit Doug Carew.

3. How does the watering impact my golf and experience? Without the efficient and sufficient watering of the course, the high-quality surfaces we provide at Durbanville will not be sustainable. On another note, in order to contribute to the water saving, our showers will be switched off until further notice. We thank you for working with us to save as much water as possible!
