Captains Comment
Dear Members,
Last Friday we held our first Quiz Evening. We had a full house with 8 tables competing for the bragging rights to be named the winners of the inaugural George Golf Club Quiz Evening. It was a huge success with a lot of laughter, friendship and great food. Thank you to Hester and her team for a great curry and rice and also to Léta who organised the event. It was my first crack at being a quiz master and it is certainly a lot more taxing than just doing a 10-minute prize-giving. I did find that regular sips of Jägermeister did help me to pronounce some of the Indian translations. Be sure to book a table for the next one as it is a huge amount of fun.
On to golfing issues. I would like to remind all members of our policy regarding attending prize-giving and encourage all players to please stay for prize-giving, especially when there are sponsors. If you really cannot attend, please ensure that you write your name down in the apology book as well as the name of the person that you have nominated to collect your prize. You may not nominate a staff member and the nominated person must please agree to collect your prize on your behalf. Failure to do this will result in you forfeiting your prize which will be given to the next player who is present.
We thank you for your understanding in this and for respecting the many wonderful sponsors that we have.
Have a great week and keep your head down.

| | | | | | Could you save 5 shots per round?
| | Setup and practice
| | | | That’s right. Get into a better setup (with equipment that allows it). Add more focus to the face angle of your putter at address and at impact; and you’ll sink more putts in the 6 to 12-foot range. | | | This is a bottom line investment.
That’s right. Your improvement drops immediately to your scorecard. So benchmark your current performance by taking 10x10 foot putts on a perfectly flat lie.
|  | | | | | |  | | | Then consider at least two of three investments.
1. A putter that fits you, allowing you to get comfortably into the perfect
setup, with assistance to make sure your face angle is square to the target line.
2. An assessment and refresher to help make sure that, along with setup
and posture, your grip and stroke allow the face to return square to target at impact.
3. Practice with aids to help make sure your face angle is as square as possible at address and at impact. | | | Get a check-up
| | | Improving your ability to square the putter face at impact will likely take up to 5 shots off your scorecard. There are some simple keys to that improvement. Setup and putter are part of that equation. So come and see us.
