How lucky are we? Day after day I am blown away by the spectacular setting that is Pecanwood. We easily take it for granted. Having travelled to and played many golf courses both locally and internationally, I can truly state without any doubt that Pecanwood is up there amongst the best settings in golf. There is just no other place like it. I would like to encourage our members to take in the scenery, the experience & the course itself during their next round of golf. Is your next round booked? Make the most of our unique combination of superb climate, outdoor activities and residential excellence that result in a lifestyle experience which many aspire to. Taking care of our course Our greenkeeper, Evan du Plessis, and his staff work extremely hard to ensure our course remains in excellent condition week in and week out. They cannot do this alone. I would like to ask all our members to do their part. Something as simple as repairing a pitch mark or raking a bunker contribute to the world-class status our golf course, it is something I try do every day. Raking your bunkers | Repairing your pitch marks | What motivates you? Thanks to everyone who filled out our survey last week. If you missed it, please take a minute to send us your answers.

Important, but not exciting. How about having a conversation with us about what happens in your golf game? Can we find a single area of improvement that will quickly increase enjoyment and reduce frustration? Put the ball in play, find the green consistently from the 50-metre range, manage a longer putt so that you’re not left with a knee-trembler, or sink an opportunity from 15 feet; and you’re not walking off the green, you’re floating off the green. It’s a great feeling. If you’re struggling to break 90 every time then talk to us Why not book an assessment with us? We’ll examine your comfort with these basic skills (driving, pitching & chipping, and putting), and together with you we’ll work out what the quickest route is to more fun and enjoyment. Come and chat to us or contact us now. Contact us > The very best for you Blow away the myth. Everyone benefits from a fitting. | | The number 1 reason some golfers don’t think they should be fitted: “I’m not good enough to justify a fitting, I’m an inexperienced golfer.” | That’s wrong. An inexperienced, or less skilled golfer, who makes sure their equipment works for them, will actually see bigger benefits than the best golfers do. Skilled, low-handicap golfer. Good ball-striking skills. | | Inexperienced, inconsistent ball striker struggling to find the sweet spot. | Two golfers are 150 metres from the green; which one needs the most help from their equipment? Which one would be able to use equipment that wasn’t perfectly matched to their size and swing? Very good golfers can make adjustments. Less experienced golfers can’t. No matter your skill level, an assessment and fitting is a must We’re passionate about you enjoying your golf. Hitting better golf shots more often makes a big difference. If you’re thinking of improving your approach shots, before you drag something off the shelf or drop it in your digital cart, let’s start the conversation about your golf game; your swing; your potential for improvement. Let’s match equipment to your game to get the best result. Contact us > |
