Club Champs weekend!
Our 2019 Club Championships were postponed from April to August because of the floods we had in April,
but last weekend the players still had a torrid time, with drizzly cold rain all day Saturday and strong winds on Sunday. Nevertheless, it was still a great weekend and there was some really good golf played. Well done to everyone who finished on Saturday.
Gavin Sole won the Championship with 68 and 68 for 136, just 21 ahead of George Bothma and David Rush.
Andre Attfield won the B-Division, with a great second day ahead of Chris Miller.
Jim Cook won the C-Division, with 74 points way ahead of Gordon Moody on 66 points.
Malcolm Greenland won the over 60's medal, followed by Clive Miller and Chris Miller
Janet Humphrey won the Ladies Championship ahead of Rene Matthew. Jean Cole won the Bronze Medal, followed by Irene Schanda and Solange Fox. Irene Schanda won the Bronze stableford, with Lorraine Cook in second place.
There was a great vibe in the clubhouse after play with a whole heap of war stories being recounted.

Last Wednesday morning, Ryan Birnie from Titleist came down and did a demo at Southbroom with the latest irons. The T100, T200 and T300 irons are amazing. There are also blades that are stunning, but they are for the young guns. Amongst the T range with the correct shaft there are clubs for everyone, including the new TS1 and TS4 drivers. Then of course the new, seriously good putter range (which you will see on tour). Can’t miss! Technology gets better all the time and Titleist really have something special
Bob Carmichael and Errol Amm testing the new equipment in pic below, with Dane in the background rolling in yet another putt.
| |  | I am doing some really good specials on the AP1 & AP3 2019 irons, which include some lessons. So, please don’t hesitate to give me a call. Great equipment and a good technique will go a long way toward your enjoyment of this wonderful game.

| | | | | | Spin: friend or foe? | | | The impact zone and launch
| | | | In the last weeks we’ve described how a simple swing fault (the angle of attack) can lower launch angle and increase spin, robbing you of 20+ metres of tee shot distance. Miss the sweet spot, and you lose more than ball speed, you also impact your launch DNA. | | |  | | | | A common error we see is golfers consistently making contact below the sweet spot. It might still feel solid, but tests run by Golf Magazine revealed a likely loss of up to 4° of launch angle and an increase of nearly 800rpm. For the regular golfer that’s a loss of between 10 and 15 metres. | | |  | | Most manufacturers are now working hard to release new drivers that protect launch and spin, as well as ball speed away from the sweet spot. That helps make significant improvements to average distance as well as increasing the distance on your perfect strikes.

| | Don’t let spin rob you | | Book an assessment with us and let's find your personal launch DNA: the perfect match of launch and spin for the ball speed you’re creating. | | | | Contact us > |
