South Africa’s Past, Present and Future in Golf

South Africa’s Past, Present and Future in Golf | Adventures In Golf Season 4

Diving into golf’s complex history, beautiful present and bright future in Cape Town on this Adventures In Golf, presented by United.
During this Adventure, we learn about the apartheid’s effect on golf, and play two incredible courses; one of which is the first club to open its fairways to all people regardless of race, gender or religion.
In the end, we were stoked to discover a healthy appetite for the game in players young and old. When the course layouts are this pure, it’s easy to understand why.

Why you in such a hurry all the time, EAL? You've got that Sponsor $ behind you yet you're running around from course-to-course on some huge time restraint or as if United are booking the next available ticket out of the place. Kick back and stay a little longer! Play a full 18 once and awhile. Maybe you should be knocking on Netflix's door ;-)

For real. Almost literally every episode is cut short because they need to catch a flight or whatever. This entire series could be like 25% better if they just stayed literally one more day in all the locations they go. So frustrating to see them kneecap themselves like this over and over.

Just discovered this. Started playing golf at the Met in 1976. Then CCC for years after that. Clovelly is a magnificent course but even better when the South Easter is roaring. I remember the trees on the fairways growing at 45 degrees because of that! Miss that course.

Don't be in a hurry to leave South Africa EAL - I know stupidly rich people who've played just about every noteworthy, 5 star course on the planet, and they rate the courses along the Eastern Cape in S.A. as some of the best in the world. I've played those courses myself - they're the best tacks I've been fortunate enough to experience.

But you will get asked to indicate you race when you open a bank account, take out a line, apply for a job. It's how SA tracks how it is transforming.

Really? Maybe you should play affordable courses like public muni's. Around where I am you can play for $22 midweek and $25 weekends walking 9 holes. You can also get used clubs. I know a guy who bought a full set with bag for $10 at a yard sale. I also go to the park and shag balls to avoid paying for balls at the range. Where there's a will there's a way.

@lsan6833 Жыл бұрын

@@romewasnotbuiltinaday There is no course within walking distance then and now, that I could ever get near 22$. And the fact you think that 22$ is affordable is my whole point. We can play 10 games of little league with 60$. Golf is for upper class.
