The golf part begins

After Kruger Park we went to Nelspruit and found that the B & B`s restaurant was closed. We had to drive to town to eat. No thank you! We went on towards Pretoria and stopped in Witbank, where we stayed in in one of those special SA resort - Casino with a hotel.

From there we went on to Pretoria where westayed 2 nights at Holger Jensens guest house. On the way from Witbank to Pretorria we played Serenget Golf Club. A super course.  Long, one par 5 they had set up to 550 meters! Greens was just so good and fast, but true. Only one 3 put! Suddenly we got a message on the GPS screen in the buggy. Go to Club house, thunder storm under way. It was a tropic thunder storm. The club offered a drink while we waited, and after 90 min. the play goes on. But we had to go back, so we missed 3 holes. But a perfect links course where they played SA open i November 2010.

We arrived at Holger Jensens Guest House at 5 PM and had a  very nice dinner with eland fillet.

 

Saturday, we got a tee off 12:50, at Woodhill, but when we got there, the geens were sanded, and all covered in sand. Which they incidentally had forgotten to say. It was too late to find another course, so we went to Pretoria GC and had a drink, saw the course, - we have played it before in 2000, and decided to come back next week.

We went back, repacked the car, write this, and plan the last week in SA – it will be golf,  so anybody not interested in this sport are free to jump off now, we will be back 24^th Jan.!
