It has been a busy week starting with 2 days of PGA seminars, workshops and AGM. Some new stuff was learned on fitness for golf presented by Barry Bridges from Cape Town. I am continuing to learn about the minefield of social media, this was presented by Ben van Rensberg. Ben can be found on his web site
http://www.dreamgolfjob.com/ Jeff Clause shared his expertise as Director of Golf at St. Francis Links, on the importance of PGA golf professionals having a crucial part to play in the running of golf clubs in South Africa in these modern times. He has brought a lot of wisdom and knowledge with him from his PGA background in Texas, USA. Jeff has been in SA now for 20 years and has worked at Fancourt and Pezula before St. Francis. The last of the workshops I attended was Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) part 2. This is all about the 10 year growth cycle of kids into adulthood and the importance on how they learn and how they should train during this time. If managed well, the potential for a long term future in the sport they choose to speialise in. My thanks goes to PGA professional Martin Briede for presenting this.
