Robyn plays golf

Took up a new hobby last month after finally taking the plunge to buy a second-hand set of golf clubs off Gumtree. I had been tinkering with the idea for a few months after hockey ended to keep myself entertained and grow my list of hobbies a bit more.

I found a near perfect set of Pinseekers and took them for their first round / klap last weekend at the River Club in Observatory

I've still got it!
Turns out, I can still hit pretty straight - barring the few I hooked - and there is still a lot of power in these arms, which makes me happy.

Bought a Mizuno glove to make me look a little bit more professional :)

So now the fun starts. Maybe get a few lessons, practice some more and get onto the mashie course at River Club will probably get me going and laughing

Anyone else play? Tips for this beginner is appreciated.

It's been a long time coming

Yesterday we achieved something great. After a full season of consistently superb and clinical hockey we won our last game and became the new Ladies Grand Challenge champions.

After an 11 year stronghold on the league title by Maties (Stellenbosch University) it came down to one game which was played on the 25 August against the 'feared' team. At 10pm we walked off the field as winners in a game that pretty much decided who was going to take the league title. Every single player gave everything they had in that game and it showed that we had been the better team on the night and pretty much the season.

A professional unit built on trust, friendship, skill, experience and short, simple ball (and cake) won us this league and it's about time
