7th green		  
Holed it!		  
Tranquil sunsets

It’s been a quieter week as many holiday makers with school kids start to leave the coast after a great summer break, but daily we start to welcome back all the swallows from Europe and the other travellers who take advantage of the less frenetic post holiday season! The various committees are starting to meet at the club and we look forward to a great year of golf ahead.

Dates to diarise for our ‘2018 Majors’ are:

Southbroom International Shootout 
Southbroom Ladies Classic
Southem Men's Amateur Classic
Southbroom Mixed Classic		 Feb 9, 10 & 11 2018
May 6, 7 & 8  2018
July 9,10,12 & 13  2018
Oct 13 & 14 2018

The 2018 Ladies Committee is ...

... and we will take a pic of the new Executive Committee (EXCO) when the Bridgefords arrive home shortly!




Peter Volck and Paul Lawson Winners of the 2017 Bertie Brown Knock Out! 

The 2017 Bertie Brown Knockout Winners are back in the village s: Peter Volck & Paul Lawson were presented with the Trophy and vouchers on Saturday evening by Club Chairman John Fox.   
Congratulations Gentlemen - the Honours boards should be updated shortly!




Norman Farrell & Arthur Lee

The last Dad's Army competition of 2017 was played on the 19th of December.
Arthur Lee won the competition with Norman Farrell coming second.




 

Nicci & Massimo Negra have recently opened The Swallow Bar serving drinks and tapas alongside the Trattoria Restaurant. It's open from 1pm onwards, and it’s a gorgeous setting to relax by the river. Later on in the evening +/- 7.15 pm watch out for the swallows circling before they come in to roost for the night in the Umkobi River reed beds.


 

Thanks again to all our Members who enjoyed The 21st Pro Day on 23rd December 2017, and a HUGE thank you to all our amazing Sponsors who make the day so special.
Everyone has at least one hole that
spoils the card or round too often.

If it’s a long Par 4, for most of us,
it’s usually not the tee shot that causes us the challenge.

The approach shot often requires a long iron / hybrid.

Imagine you’ve hit the perfect shot.
Now just three simple questions.

Operation 36: A shot to Master


If your handicap is 15 or above, then review your performance and technique on this shot.
It’s the short-pitch shot (between 15 - 50 metres). For most golfers, a 27 - 55 metre shot.
If you’re taking 3 or less to get down from here, every time, then your handicap should be dropping.
It’s worth investing some time and effort into improving and practising your technique.
