Time
didn't
allow
for
18
holes,
so
I
played
the
13
holes
which
takes
you
to
the
Clubhouse
with
halfway
at
the
end
of
the
8th.
While
waiting
for
my
T-off
on
the
first
a
couple,
Mark
and
Sheila,
long
standing
members
of
the
club,
invited
me
to
join
them.
This
made
for
a
more
interesting
game
both
in
terms
of
direction
of
play,in
particular
some
blind
rises,
and
catching
up
on
local
news.
The
Clubhouse
has
magnificent
views
over
the
1st,
18th
and
12-13th
holes
with
distant
sea
views.
Sea
views
on
the
first
9
were
stunning
on
the
sunny
day
with
light
breeze
we
played
in.
Mark
reminded
me
of
how
different,
and
difficult,
it
could
be
in
windier
conditions.
It
would
not
be
unusual
to
see
a
large
tortoise
on
the
course.
Sheila
tells
of
locals
who
drop
off
found
tortoises
so
the
course
is
a
natural
sanctuary.
They
also
have
a
number
buck,
I
saw
Blesbok
and
Springbok
on
the
course.
The
latter,
with
rare
breed,
has
been
a
financial
boon
for
the
Club.
The
7th,
par5,
with
its
undulating
hills,
reminded
me
of
the
Durban
Country
Club
and
Humewood.
On
the
first
few
holes
the
characteristic
allow
markers
came
into
play
as
Sheila
was
allowed
a
free
drop.
The
stone
cut
T-box
distance
markers,
were
a
recent
addition
and
are
certainly
unique.
The
12th
is
the
signature
hole
and
one
can
see
why,
with
its
high
T-box
and
magnificent
views
back
to
the
Clubhouse.
All
the
greens
played
true
and
in
good
condition.
I
last
played
here
in
2003,
so
was
glad
to
be
back
and
refresh
memories
of
a
clean
and
well
kept
course.
Hats
off
to
the
Greens
Committee,
and
others
before
them,
for
contributing
to
what
we
can
now
enjoy.
