Have a look at where our Open Golf Championship is taking place in two months time… a beautiful course
The South African Open Championship is one of the oldest national open golf championships in the world.
What a course for the South African Golf Open to be played on, a good test for the players, an exceptional course for the spectators, in general I can’t think of a better place for it to take place… Glendower is no spring chicken itself… 7th March 1937 it was officially opened… and two years down the line it held the Transvaal open that was won by the famous Bobby Locke..
The course saw a major revamp in the 1980’s and has held a high position on the Golf Digest top 100 for many years. Host to the S.A Open in 1989, 1993 and 1997 it is now about to see it’s fourth Open and well deserved I think. The Championship is to be held here again next year, I wonder how many…

Will the South African players that play a lot in the US play in this one?
Ernie plays nearly every year and yes the youngsters all come home… it is considered by them one they have to win, and this makes it so successful… there is one hell of a hefty purse as well.. R 18 000 000 I think it equates to not sure what the first prize is… and of course we get the pros that come out to play in the Nedbank Million Dollar which has a prize of $1 000 000 (R9 000 000) for first place, also the Alfred Dunhill that attracts some of the top players. So yes we have a top international field with our boys mixed in… almost like your USA competitions…
