It’s timely in writing this golf course feature (late December 2024) as it is less than two weeks shy of the 25th anniversary of my historic ‘First Person To Hit a Golf Shot on a Golf Course In 2000‘ and also just a month away from 25-years when I played my first game of golf in South Africa. My visits to the Rainbow Nation sadly have been just a few and each to be present at DP World Tour tournament venues in Joburg and Durban. A maiden visit was to Joburg in the second week of ...
