| Open Championship
What a fantastic Open Championship last week at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland and won by an Irishman Shane Lowry. Lowry played beautifully and when the weather turned sour on the last day he felt right at home. He hits those strong low long irons, perfect for links golf. On top of that he putted great. The course was fantastic and even though the greens were relatively slow, scores were low until the last day and it would have been impossible had the greens been quick.
Club news
We have had some wonderful weather this winter but last Saturday and Wednesday it blew really hard and conditions were extremely tough with our quick greens. The Southbroom Conservancy Golf Day on Saturday was really so tough and well done to all who finished 18 holes. Thanks to Dawne Murray and her team plus all the sponsors who helped raise much needed money. Dawne reports over R51 500 was raised which goes a long way to keeping Southbroom so special. Thanks to all involved for their huge ongoing efforts to keep it that way.

The Ladies Section played for the Ladies Conservancy Day prizes on Wednesday. See all the delighted winners below! The afternoon prize giving combined into a farewell for our previous Lady Captain Michelle Davies. We join in wishing Mel & Michelle well on their big move to Aus. They are going to enjoy being closer to their family. Southbroom will miss this fabulous couple. Michelle was presented with a beautiful photo book from the Ladies, choc full of good memories of their last 10 years in Southbroom.
 | | Congratulations all |
The Business Day was won by Alex & Ken Crawford, Jill Webster & Bob O’Callaghan on 88 pts after an interesting day with a golf ball hitting one of the team player! But they all looked okay and happy at prize giving albeit a tad shaken! Russel Mackenzie won the Ladies Srixon lucky draw.

| | It's why an assessment and fitting matters
| | | | If two drivers with exactly the same loft and shaft can have a difference of 20 plus metres in how far you hit the ball off the tee, then there’s one irrefutable conclusion. | | | | | | | | What you should be buying is metres, NOT a driver. Yes, every time you’re buying a driver, we should be helping you to find the configuration that maximises your ball speed and then matches that to an angle of launch and spin rate on the ball to get you the biggest distance improvement without you losing control. | | |  | | | | Matching swing speed, ball speed, launch angle, and spin rate on tee shots, will make up to 40 metres of difference for some golfers. How much difference would it make to you? |
| | Come and grab some metres | | Get every metre off the tee your potential deserves. Come and have a tee shot assessment and let's see how we can add 20, 30 and even more metres to your tee shots. | | | | Contact us > |
| | | | | | | A better life for them | | | | The family connected | | | | We are living in the middle of the greatest and most exciting revolution the world has ever seen. The digital and AI revolution is impacting on society and the way human beings are connected. But there has to be a balance. Your children need to have a way of staying connected with their family in all sorts of real-world ways. | | |  |  |
| | Let us add balance | | Have your child enroll into one of our group sessions to learn to play golf, and we’ll have them outdoors, interacting, learning new skills, and having a whole stack of fun they can take out onto the golf course. They won’t stop playing computer games, but for a couple of hours each time we’ll have them off the phone, out from in front of the screen, engaging in fun activity. | | | Contact us >
