.	Golf etiquette:-				Golf tips:-
.	Golf etiquette is an extremely important part of the game of golf. The etiquette golfers show to one another out on the course is one of the things that distinguishes golf from all other sports. But what is etiquette? Etiquette has to do with manners. It is through the courtesy we show to other people that we communicate our respect for them and that we show them how important we think they are. ( www.tomsgolftips.com ) Over the next few weeks, we will examine Golf Etiquette in more detail.				Should you feel the need to improve your golf, (and we would all like to meet the person who doesn’t), please consult your local Professional - Jacques Beukes - (035) 753 4848

.	Sports Development Trust:-				Newsletter Advertising:-
.	With the permission of EXCO, Hannes Uys has handed over the Chairmanship of the Sports Development Trust to Kobus van Zyl. Last Friday we had an incredible turn out for our Sports Development Trust Sponsored Day. Thank you to all that participated. Sponsors were Richards Bay Minerals, BHP Billiton, RB Tool & Industrial Supplies, Pienaar Bros, Autor Amour and Afrox. Please view attached letter of thanks to all our sponsors.				We will be offering limited advertising space within the newsletter. As we have not yet placed a true value on this facility, we are prepared to offer the first ten applications a free placement and, perhaps, thereafter offer this to the weekly highest bidder. This week we promote the co-sponsors of our website.

.		From the rule book:-				Still your putt
.						If profanity had an influence on the flight of the ball, the game of golf would be played far better than it is. - Horace G.
.
.
.	Lost Ball, Out of Bounds and Provisional Ball (Rule 27)
.	May a player, after going forward to search for his ball, return to where he last played from in order to play a provisional ball?
.
.	No. If the player did so, the second ball would become the ball in play and the original ball would be lost. You must play a provisional ball "before going forward to search" for your original ball as the principle behind the provisional ball Rule is the saving of time.					Thank you:-
.						Our sincere thanks to members, friends and sponsors that continue to support our club – have a great golfing week.
