CHAMPIONSHIP

The Alfred Dunhill Championship, co-sanctioned by both the Sunshine Tour and European Tour, will make for a thrilling finale to the South African golf year as it follows the Nedbank Golf Challenge hosted by Gary Player as the final tournament played on South African fairways in 2019. And the prestigious tournament also tees off the European Tour’s new 2020 season.

4 I have played over 160 courses across several countries, and the soil (and climate) variation has been great. I have played courses in areas of black clay soils (Rustenburg, Akasia, Standerton to name a few), where a layer of loamy red sand is often required for the fairways, so that enough grass cover can be maintained. I SOIL AND GOLF have played in Gambia, West Africa, where the hot dry conditions and sandy soils mean that players take along a plastic mat and the “greens” are actually “browns”, where sand is mixed with oil and swept for each player to chip and putt. I have played on small platteland courses where the soils have been so shallow that “placing” to find a patch of grass can be as much as a metre, and I have played on courses where (despite being an avid golfer), my thought has been that the soils have such high potential for agriculture that a golf course should never have been built there.

What is the conclusion to all of this? Hopefully, the realization that soil is a precious resource that provides the basis for many aspects of our lives, including golf courses. We need to understand the soil variation and to take care of whatever soils we have. Enjoy your golf (wherever you play and whatever you shoot), but “Don’t treat soils like dirt!” - GARRY PATERSON

It seems an obvious fact that without soil, there could be no golf. Garry Paterson has played golf for over 50 years and has a PhD in soil science. His golfing highlights include After all, golf is played on grass, which grows in the soil. But as any playing over 160 courses, including in every province of SA. The first tournament he attended was the “Duel greenkeeper will tell you, it’s not that simple. Soil is not all the same, and in the Sun” at Turnberry in 1977, and his golfing highlights include a birdie 3 on the 18th at St Andrews. His ambition is to have a hole in one, which would match the achievement of both his father and his son! when combined with climatic conditions, produces very different results.

As a soil scientist who has played golf for around 50 years, starting as a young lad in Scotland, I would like to think I have a decent appreciation of that variation. The classic golf courses in many parts of the world (especially in Scotland) are links courses, which developed on the sandy strip that linked the beach dunes with the more productive farmland. When golf expanded, mainly to inland sites, they had to use whatever soil was present, from rocky gravelly materials, to heavy, structured clays.

Soil is composed of a mixture of three broad size fractions, namely sand, which is simply the coarsest grade of soil (0.5 to 2.0 mm particles), silt, which is medium-sized (0.002 to 0.5 mm particles), and clay, the finest grade (particles less than 0.002 mm). Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Sand has better drainage, but is naturally unfertile KZN’S BEST KEPT SECRET and dries out quickly. Clay is better at holding water, but can become waterlogged and very hard when dry. Silt is probably the ideal compromise, but can become compacted.

The ideal area for building a golf course in South Africa would have soil texture of around 15% clay, with freely-drained soils. It would have enough rain to optimise the grass growth in the warmest season, as well as to keep the grass playable in the coldest season.

In addition, there should be a source of proper sand for the bunkers. Bunkers need proper sand (generally less than 5% clay with a greyish colour), but this is often scarce, so golf clubs use what they have, often manifesting as reddish materials that can even stain golf shoes when wet. The problem here is that these less sandy materials have a tendency to compact, especially after rain, and while true sand will dry out and remain playable, in loamy materials, that compaction remains, giving the well-known “concrete bunker effect” that is very prevalent in Gauteng. The solution is to regularly rake the bunkers well (preferably to a depth of 15-20 cm or more), but that is both difficult to do without specialised equipment, as well as being labour- 1st Dec 2019 intensive. The upshot is that one has to develop a different sort of shot (a sort of steep-angled scoop) for these compacted bunkers, as opposed to the traditional splash shot that can be played from true sand. The real to 12 Jan 2020 problem comes when the bunkers feel like soft sand on top, only for the Green Fee Rates actual shot to reveal a hardpan just below the surface. Woe betide any playing partner standing on the other side of the green!

15 THE GOLF ELIXIR BY: JOHN DICKSON

The word Elixir is a noun” Miraculous, magical, and maybe a little mysterious, an elixir is a sweet substance or solution that cures the problem at hand”.

So in the golf swing we could all do with an Elixir to help us play better. We often look for this with better technique. Working on the fundamentals and basics of the golf swing. When golfers move poorly they normally hit the ball off line. An elixir for this could be getting a better posture. Posture is so important in setting the foundation to good body movement and even getting the correct sequence in the back and downswing.

A good Elixir could be just having the correct grip. A weak grip usually leads to lack of release and lack of release in turn leads to any amount of compensations in the golf swing. Players with a weak grip(if right handed player) often hit the ball right of target with a slice or can also compensate by hitting big pulls. A strong grip can lead to the club face releasing to well and resulting in shots that can go left unless the body works well in the swing to compensate for the strong grip.

Another Elixir for the golf swing could be having the correct equipment. If your golf clubs do not fit you well then you can definitely compensate with the swing to correct for clubs that are too long or short. Clubs that are too stiff or too soft in the shaft. Clubs that are too upright or too flat in lie angle. So many golfers often resort to the Elixir of buying equipment that helps them to a “better “game.

I feel the best Elixir is rhythm. Finding the right rhythm for your golf swing will do wonders for your game with whatever swing you have. Rhythm can make up for many swing faults as it really helps the golfer to get everything working in sync. The golf swing is made up of a backswing and a down swing. The Transition from the backswing to the downswing is known as the transition. This is the hardest part of the golf swing to get right. When we are under pressure we tend to rush this and this invariably leads to poor shots and more tension as the round goes on.

Finding a good rhythm to your golf swing is vital in playing better shots but also helping us be more relaxed when we do play under any pressure. A really good way to get better rhythm is to hit practice balls off a tee/peg at the height of a driver. Hang the seven or eight iron in the air and feel the forearms and shoulders nice and relaxed and try and feel a really good rhythm on the back swing that should lead to a good smooth transition into the down swing and then a better impact.

So in the eternal search for better golf and all the Elixirs out there on YouTube and the internet. Try to make your main one to be finding a really good rhythm that suits you.

18 19 LOWVELD INTER-CLUB BY: BARBARA SCOTT, BETTER BALL LADY CAPTAIN MBOMBELA GOLF CLUB

IF IT AIN’T BROKE - DON’T FIX IT!

Sadly, that wasn’t the case with the Ladies League competition in the Lowveld. Distances are great and the numbers of golfers playing and prepared to travel have been slowly diminishing over the years.

The Lowveld Clubs, particularly the outlying clubs, struggle to get visiting ladies onto their courses and the League games were often decided by forfeits rather than genuine matches.

At the beginning of 2019 a new format was introduced – each Club was invited to enter Better Ball teams and the Clubs committed to playing on six Saturdays in the year. One event at each of the six Lowveld Clubs that made up the League. Teams play in their Club colours and at the inaugural event of the year at Sabi Country Club, 48 players took part and the vibe was fantastic. Although players are encouraged to keep the same partners for the year, no-one is ever turned away and in total 84 ladies have participated in the competition, with an average of 50 players per event.

During the course of the year the competition was played in Lydenburg (36 players), White River (52 players), Nelspruit (60 players), Malelane (44 players) and Kambaku (56 players).

The team competition has sparked keen interest from the players. Interestingly, home advantage has come in to play and so with 8 points for first, 5 for second and 2 for third, the team situation has been tightly contested. The final event was held on the 26th October at the beautiful Kambaku Country Club on the banks of the Crocodile River. The Kambaku ladies put on an amazing event and even managed to tone the temperature down slightly and provide a welcome breeze. Needless to say – the course was tough, with several tricky pin placements and once again the home team managed to snatch first place on a count out from Sabi. That was enough to secure the 2019 title for Mbombela.

It’s a truly great competition and has built fantastic camaraderie amongst the Lowveld ladies. The great news is that we have the ladies from Kruger Park Lodge and Sabi River Bungalows combining to form a new team to join the 2020 competition.

20 HUGO HANGS ON FOR WINDY WILD COAST WIN BY: MATTHEWS MFUBU

His margin of victory was eventually four strokes, but was hanging on for dear life as he won the Sun Wild Coast Sun Challenge at the Wild Coast Sun Country Club.

It was the 19th Sunshine Tour title for the 43-year-old, but his last in 2015 seemed a long way off as he fought to maintain the five-shot lead he started with, as Clinton Grobler, Hennie du Plessis and Ruan de Smidt did their best to chase him down while he carded a four-over-par 74.

“I wasn’t sure if you’d given me 74 at the beginning of the day that I would have taken it,” said Hugo. “I could have played better today, but it’s a step in the right direction for me. The way I played the last four or five holes, it was great. It was probably the toughest stretch we’ll get this year.”

It was made tough but the inevitable challenge of playing golf at the coast: A wind that made scoring very difficult on a day on which three-under 67 was the best score. “It was a pretty brutal day,” said Hugo. “It was the first time we got the wind from this direction this week and it was quite heavy.

To start out, it was very tough to judge how strong it was and I knew that for a few holes on the front nine it was going to be very testing. It did catch us and even the downwind holes weren’t that easy, and putting becomes very difficult with this wind.”

A bogey on his first hole would have dented his confidence, and two more by the time he reached the sixth would have reminded him that he had five missed cuts this season, and just one top-10 finish – an anomaly in a glittering career. NOT ENOUGH TIME?

But his experience made him grit his teeth and battle on. “I tried not to look at what was going on with the people around me,” he said. PLAY NINE! “If I was playing great, I wouldn’t have had a look because I would have been far ahead. WILD COAST SUN 9 HOLE SPECIAL I had a look at 12, and I still had a three- or four-shot lead. Then Ruan had a few birdies coming in, so it was between myself and him. WINTER TIME A two-shot lead playing the last hole is never May 2019 - September 2019 from 14h00 enough for this course.” SUMMER TIME That a small lead is not enough was clearly demonstrated when De Smidt made a double- October 2019 - March 2020 from 15h00 bogey six on the last, after birdieing the 17th to slip back into a three-way share of second instead of second on his own. Grobler closed R200 per player with a great 68 to get a little closer to the top of the Rookie of the Year race, and Hennie du including a golf cart Plessis sealed a satisfying return from injury with a 68 of his own. Bookings to be done through Titch Moore, Estiaan Conradie, Luke Jerling Wild Coast Sun Pro-Shop on 039-305 2799. and Jaco Ahlers shared fifth a further shot back at six-under for the tournament, while Subject to availability. Terms & conditions apply. Neil Schietekat, Jonathan Agren of Sweden, Jacques Blaauw and Merrick Bremner rounded out the top 10.

For Hugo, who edges closer to John Bland’s 21 Sunshine Tour victories in fifth place on the list of most wins, this was as good as it has ever been for him in his career. “This feels just as special as the first one,” he said. “I’ll remember this for a long time. It was the first one for a long while, and it was the toughest, actually.

“I’ll just take my career as it comes from now. I’ve put a lot of pressure on myself for the last three or four years to keeping adding to the trophy cabinet. If I was off my game today, I could easily have lost it.

“If you give yourself a challenge and you pull it off, it’s quite satisfying.”
