Lastly we want to thank you all for the support you gave your Club in 2009. Preliminary figures show that we had a good year, despite the bad economic environment and all the pressures our members are operating under.
Let's keep it up and make 2010 a year to remember.
Ian Barrie
Manager
From our on course Professional, Andrew Corthing.
Andrew will be teaching at a Disabilaty Conference in Cape Town form 12 to 15 July 2009. Well done to Andrew to be chosen to do this. Good luck form all of us here at CMR.
A tip from Andrew
40% of your daily game consists of putting. 30% consist of 0 to 100m. So the conclusion is that 70% of your game is putting, chipping and pitching. So do yourself a favour and sort out your short game.
If you need help contact Andrew on 082-637-6912 or e-mail on andrew.corthing@gmail.com
