The GolfRSA National Squad is a three-tier squad, made up of the Elite Squad, Group B and Group C squads.  The objective is to ensure that our best players have access to top coaching staff, both golf, and mental coaching, and the latest technology using Trackman, to help progress their game.

Potential candidates for the squad are identified by the National Coaches and the WGSA Executive, and are put through the different squad groups according to their performance.  There is also a feeder squad, called the Qalisa Squad, where young players who show great potential are introduced to the squad ethos.

The squad attends camps throughout the year, where their golf skills and fitness levels are put to the test, they also attend sessions with our Sport Psychologists, to ensure a well rounded programme.  Our camps are based at the beautiful Serengeti Golf Estate, where we have access to conference rooms, catering, gym, driving range, cub course and Par 3 course.

Our National Squads are overseen by :

Head Coaches                                     Val Holland and Anna Becker-Frankel

Trackman Specialist                            Costanza Trussoni

Sport Psychologists                             Grant Flaum (Elite & B) and Shaun Landsberg (Group C)

Biokinestist & Sport Scientist               Bianca Bloemhof & Team

Elite & Group B                                    Susan Andrew

Group C                                               Madeleine de Wet

We are very fortunate to receive generous funding from Mr Johann Rupert, and the Department of Sports and Culture, and are thereby able to provide squad players with different levels of financial assistance.  Players can be moved up or down a level during the year, depending on their performance.
