Balderstone Sports Institute proudly congratulates PGA Diploma graduate Carl Nebbeling on his appointment as Golf Director at Royal Johannesburg.

Carl graduated from BSI in 2016, finishing top of his class, and has gone on to build an outstanding career in the golf industry. His journey has included roles at Magaliespark Resort, Eye of Africa Golf Estate, Quick Golf South Africa, as well as experience at the Joburg Open, Sunshine Tour and European Tour events.

Carl’s appointment is another example of how BSI’s PGA Diploma equips students with the knowledge, practical experience and industry connections to build successful careers in golf. We are incredibly proud to see another of our graduates taking on a leadership role at one of South Africa’s most prestigious golf clubs.

Congratulations, Carl. We wish you every success in this exciting new chapter and look forward to seeing your continued impact on the South African golf industry.

We are delighted to announce our latest recruit CJ Pretorius, who has committed to our full-time Junior Golf Academy from grade 8 in January 2027.

CJ is a talented and hard working young player who has already represented Ekurhuleni Golf Union.

“Following our walkthrough the other day and getting some further information about your institution, it became an option for Grd8 next year and to join the Golf Academy full time. After lots of thought, we have decided BSI would be our best choice and maximize his opportunities in high school. Myself and Megan are really impressed with the professionalism in which your staff run your Institution. We are really chuffed and excited to walk this road with you and the team.”

~ Carl (CJ’s father).

At BSI, our student-athletes specialize in one sport, their chosen sport,

from grade 8 onwards. This aligns with worldwide best practice for the optimal age window for specialization in youth sport.

Our full-time academy programs combine quality schooling (with international curricula) with intensive sports training programs and support designed to take youth athletes to high performance level.

With an in-house coaching and support staff including PGA Coaches, Sports Scientist and Mental Coach, the BSI Junior Golf Academy provides the optimal environment for developing talented players to their potential. Add in membership and weekly tournaments at Royal Johannesburg and you have everything in place for success.

Our student-athletes come from all over the world, with many representing their countries on the international stage. Our alumni include a DP World Tour winner, and hundreds of other success stories around the world.

If you have a son or daughter who would benefit from a specialized sports-focused schooling structure then drop us a line at info@bsisports.com to learn more, book a campus tour or sign up for our Open Day in August.
