It’s coming to that time of year when people are looking to take golf lessons either as a beginner or as a golfer who wants to get their game into shape for the season ahead and work on getting their handicap down.

There are many different options when taking golf lessons. Some people like to just work on their swing on the driving range and sort out out a technical fault that they might have, while others like to work on different parts of their golf game.

Here at Dukes Meadows we have lots of different teaching areas to suit the needs of every golfer. We have a short game area where we can work on chipping, pitching and bunker play and also a separate putting green. These areas can be used by all standards of golfer to improve their game and is very much useful for beginners to get their game ready for the golf course.

Sterne Wants Back-To-Back Victories

Well we have a new leader in the Race to Dubai after last weeks near perfect performance from South African Richard Sterne. He won the Joburg Open by seven shots and incredibly only carded one bogey in the 72 holes.

Sterne from Pretoria also managed to shoot the lowest 72 hole score of the season so far – a 27 under par score of 260.

Four years ago he managed to secure back-to-back victories and is hoping to do the same going into this weeks Africa Open, at East London Golf Club on the Eastern Cape.

This was Sterne’s first victory since 2009 and he is hoping that this is the foundation for a great season ahead.

As you know Richard Sterne only dropped one shot throughout the whole tournament, you can’t do this unless your short game is at its best. To learn more on how to get up and down from Greenside Bunkers click here.
