Anything is Possible

Practise  In 2015 I played in the Mercedes World Club Pro-am and failed dismally on the last day, and that was the last Professional tournament I played. I had many hardships and losses that year.  I dislocated my shoulder and hip, and was told by doctors that I will never be able to play Golf again.  I refused surgery and started my way slowly but surely back to life. I put my playing career aside and vowed to never play Golf tournaments again and shifted my focus to disabled Golf where I became national coach for SADGA, but unfortunately due to the unstable economy which lead to lack of funds I had to part ways with SADGA. I started my Academy here at Arrows Rest, Jim & Jerry Driving Range, just over a year ago. Thank you to all my Loyal Customers, it is an honour to be a part of your and your children’s life’s. What a blessing to see and enjoy the progress with every lesson. With the inspiration from you my customers and my Father who have been ...

Why get Lessons from a PGA Pro?

Some people reason that you can get Golf training from anyone charging a fee for Golf coaching, because if they charge a fee, they should know what they are doing. I get people on a daily basis who are very disappointed with results from  coaches after they spend thousands of rands. The fact is that people who are not qualifed PGA Professionals are not allowed to give Golf lessons and are not allowed to charge you money. A lot of people claim to be Pro Golfers.  How do you know if someone is a PGA Professional?  Ask to see their PGA Badge or Membership card which is updated every year.   The question you should ask yourself... will I go to an attorneys office and talk to the secretary for legal advise?  Will  I then pay the secretary for her legal advise?  What is your Golfing Goals?  What do you want to achieve? If you really want to better your golf skills go to a SPECIALIST PGA GOLF COACH. If you want advice you dont ...
