Greetings from South Africa
The WAGA promoted Sun City Challenge was completed on Wednesday afternoon and the prize-giving dinner held that night at the Peninsula Restaurant, Cascades Hotel. Tournament entrants and non-golfers enjoyed wonderful accommodation at the Cabanas, sumptuous meals and challenging golf at the Lost City course.
The tournament was won by Allan Barker, second to Lexi Pitt, third to Warren Hughes and fourth was John Hutchison. All scores will be on the web upon my return. Non-golfers had a exciting trip to a game park and the following day, a relaxing spa treatment. Additional problems for the golfers were monkeys, baboons, warthogs and crocodiles.
Nine of the group are currently enjoying the private game reserve, Kapama River Lodge, where in 24hrs, elephants, leopard, a journey of giraffes, 3 large Rhinos and a pride of lions that walked in front of the game-viewing vehicle – a truly fantastic experience. Other members of the tour have gone to Victoria Falls, Capetown and other parts of Africa.
The Monterey brochure has been approved and should appear on the website next week. WAGA still have vacancies for the last 2011 event, Lk Taupo in Oct/Nov.
Buenos Aires, Hainan Island can be viewed at the website and will shortly be joined by Montery.
Happy golfing,
Brian Lassen; WAGA.
