NOT JUST A GAME, AN EXPERIENCE:
GOLF IN LIMPOPO, SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa's Limpopo province is teeming with wildlife, including Africa's "Big Five" and over 300 bird species, this mountainous area is fast becoming famous for another form of big game: Golf. New developments such as "Zebula" combines "Bushveld" golf with luxury five star accommodation, game viewing and the opportunity to relax in the on-site Spa.
Getting a feel for:
Swing Variables
There are numerous variables that will affect the performance of any given club. Finding the right setup for your game means not only understanding these variables - which we've explained below- but making them all work together.
Modern club design has come on in leaps and bounds in the last few years, with the single goal of making the
game easier and more enjoyable. Club fitting plays a pivotal role in making this technology all the more effective.
Discovering the distance
gaps in your game
When I'm helping a golfer build his or her set, one of the most important issues to address is that of the
distance gap. Most golfers don't realise the extent of their distance gapping problems, but as a simple
exercise to check your bag, follow these steps. You'll be amazed.

Being able to measure the distance to the Pin, the distance to a specific hazard, or the distance that you have hit your 3 wood are all valuable calculations. Not only is play sped up, but your ability to measure distances accurately greatly improves.
The short game handicap system provides a simple method of finding out where your strong points and weak points
are in your short game. Shots tested in the system range from long range pitches (50 yds / 45m) all the way
down to the 'confidence testing' short putts (3 ft / 0.5m).
In these heady days of space-age designs and tomorrow's-world technologies we tend to forget that some of the most valuable information on the health of our golf swing is - quite literally - right under our noses, in the form of the DIVOT.
With the seasons gradually changing, you need to make sure you keep your body flexible and in shape in order to perform to your best ability on the golf course. To help you understand a bit more about the common injury areas caused from golf, I have put together a web feature explaining the cause, cure and prevention of each of these injuries.

Blame Your Toes
Biomechanically speaking, the source of a niggling pain in your back, hip and knee often starts in your body's foundation: the foot.
