| | Thursday, March 28, 2024 | Action against poverty “We need to restore and reaffirm the dignity of the people of Africa and the developing world. We need to place the eradication of poverty at the top of world priorities. We need to know with a fresh conviction that we all share a common humanity and that our diversity in the world is the strength for our future together.” – Nelson Mandela “Poverty stalks South Africa. It is at the root of malnutrition, stunting, poor educational outcomes, the skills deficit and unemployment, disease, the loss of dignity, and even anger and violence. We have to take action against poverty, and we have to work together to do that. Each of us can make every day a Mandela Day by choosing to do something sustainable that will help South Africa eradicate poverty and ensure we each realise the ideal of a dignified life.” This is my favourite Major of the year by far. To watch a Championship taking place over a Links Golf Course, makes you realise how awesome it is to play at Ebotse Links week in and week out. The 147th Open Championship will be played at Carnoustie Golf Links for the 8th time since 1931.

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.
