Something for the new members

All those who have become members at Paarl GC since the return to golf on 12 June can get 50% off a 30 minute or 60 minute lesson with Ben to get you started.

From absolute beginners to scratch golfers, Ben will help you to identify ways that you can score better on the course, as well as help you become acquainted with all the happenings around the Club.

We haven’t forgotten about our loyal faces around PGC either

Ben is also offering all members a chance to take part in his Saturday morning masterclasses. Join him every Saturday morning at 10am starting next week (11 July), where he will be addressing a certain aspect of the game that will help take shots off your scorecard. During that hour you will learn how to improve your game, meet like-minded golfers (to perhaps join your next 4ball) and have a whole lot of fun!

Did we mention that it will only cost you only R150 per masterclass? What are you waiting for? Book now as there is only space for a maximum 10 golfers per lesson.

No more three putts.

Could this be why you slipped by?

The face angle of your putter at contact has between 80 and 95% influence on the launch direction of your putt. That means a tiny error could cause you to slip by the hole, even with great tempo. When the face has such a huge impact on your putting accuracy, we need to square that face.

Club path also affects accuracy, albeit less than face angle. For instance, if you have a slightly closed face angle but an in-to-out path, you could still launch the ball straight. Other factors to consider are lie angle and contact point. There’s a lot going on here, that’s why it’s best to get your putter fitted for your stroke and setup.

No more surprise misses

Consistent putting transforms your golf experience. Sometimes it means a birdie. Often it’s a solid par. But it’s always satisfying being able to stand over every putt with confidence. Let’s schedule a putting assessment for when you’re next at the course. And in the meantime, we can give you some drills to do at home.

Go the distance.

Struggling to go further?

We get lots of golfers coming to us with concerns about losing distance despite no obvious swing and/or equipment changes. We like to take a holistic approach to solve this problem.

Long drives come in three
Using a combination of fitting and swing assessment techniques, we’ll make sure that the following trio of impact factors are helping you go the full distance.

Clubhead speed
The speed of the clubhead immediately before impact.

Smash factor
The amount of energy transferred from clubhead to ball at impact.

Ball speed
The speed of the ball directly after impact.

How much further could you go?

It’s our mission to make sure you’re hitting the ball as long as possible. It means you can take less club on approach and makes the whole game a bit easier. Next time you’re at the course, come speak to us about your game, or we could also,
