INSIDE THE 30M RULE WITH CASEY JARVIS

It’s with great honour and privilege that I am able to share my “inside the 30m rule” (ropes are only for the pros) experiences with the SA Golf Trader readers.

I really enjoy the North West Open. Potchefstroom Golf Course suites my eye, and having lost in a playoff last year I wanted to go one better in 2020. Unfortunately a soft bogey on the 72nd hole ended my chances but it was a nice battle between myself and Yurav Premlall who ended up shooting 64 in the final round to win. Well done Yurie!!

Then the world got turned upside down, Lockdown was enforced. Golf (and Life) ceased and here we are 6 weeks later. My days consist of catching up much needed school work. The academic requirements for US College are quite stringent so in a way it’s played into my hands.

Golf has taken a back seat, although I have a net set up in the garden, practice is not the same. I have turned more to my exercise programme, focusing on strengthening my core. My daily routine is as follows

• 7km Run in the morning

• School work

• Practice hitting a few balls in the net

• Core exercises in the later afternoon

Stay safe and we will see you on the fairways soon.
