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 my Rugby, Cricket and Golf Coach all my life I decided to start practicing again for Golf Tournaments.

I belief with help from my Father and a lot of hard work and dedication I will soon reach all my career goals. My wish is to be an inspiration to all my young Golfers and to proof that with proper goals, planning, hard work, discipline and dedication we can all reach our dreams. Anything is possible if you want it bad enough, we can all achieve anything we want.

My first Goal is to prepare and enter the SA Open Pre-Q.

Golf Invitational

I want to thank Thandi for the invitation of playing in the Tammy Taylor Golf day. Tama and Thandi used to come for their golf lessons at my Golf academy at CMR Golf Course, how nice to see them again. Nato and I used to play together in Pro-ams in Maurituis. Nato is a very naughty PGA Pro posing with our mascot Obichini. Albano is a top deaf Golf player which I have been working with for years. He has always been the teady bear of the team. NATO, TAMA, ANDREW, ALBANO Enjoyed such a great day with old friends The billboard for invitational at Lanceria Airport Please subscribe for updates

Two Little Changes can make a Big Tee Shot

If despite a smooth, strong swing you are not getting the distance you feel you deserve, it may well be because your hip-turn through the hitting zone is too restricted. Here is two adjustments at address to overcome this restriction. I think the changes have given me freedom to move my hips faster on the downswing, increasing my distance as much as 10%, and I recommend them. At address most golfers will turn the left foot about 30° to the left. When i tried this particular stance i always felt that my hip turn was being checked too soon and that as a consequence I was losing power. My left foot is now turned out 45°. In addition, I have moved my right foot forward just a little so that my stance is a slightly open one, rather than closed as is more conventional. Thus I set up like a boxer who is about to throw a long right hand punch and who must get his body completely out of the way if he expects to hit his opponent hard. On the downswing i am able, like the boxer, to ach...

There is no need for Panic in a Fairway Trap

You have driven into a fairway sand trap and are not only some distance from the green, but also have a poor lie. What can be done? Well firstly stay calm, for you have not necessarily lost a stroke. Assume that you are a seven-iron distance from the green, but the difficult lie indicates that it would be impossible to reach it with that club. Provided the lip of the trap will not interfere, use a five-iron and hit what amounts to a long explosion shot. Play the ball in its normal position between the feet, making sure you have a good firm stance in the sand so that you will not slip during the Swing. Open the face of the club and take it back slightly to the outside, using a full backswing. Aim toward the left of the target, because you will be hitting a fading shot, and hit just as close behind the ball as the sand will permit. Hit hard with the right hand, but do not let the wrists turn over at or just after impact. A five-iron explosion hit in this fashion is going to carry ap...
