    Hey Team Titleist...thought I’d share with you guys what I’ve been up to for the last two months...

    After 12 years of helping to build up a little consultancy in London, I exited last November and went back to my native South Africa for an extended holiday and spent about 2 months across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and George & Sun City.

    Here’s the fun part...I lost count but I played somewhere between 40 to 50 rounds of golf! Some of the courses I played:

    Gary Player Country Club (Home of the Million Dollar) Lost City - 13 hole has an actual crocodile pit as a hazard Randpark Firethorn and Bushwillow - Played 2 weeks after the Joburg Open was played there Glendower - The SA Open was played there last year Pinnacle Point - Check out the pics

    If any of you TTers are planning a tour to SA, get in touch...I’ll be happy to offer some tips and help.

    Also...feel free to hate me!

    The courses are amazing there JT and great value. For around £40-£60 you can play a Championship level course that is in better nic than Woburn/The Grove etc

    And you can get a really good caddy for less than £20!!!

    That was the halfway house Deno!!! At most courses in South Africa, you stop after 9 holes at a halfway house and sit down for a full breakfast before continuing on or a full meal if it’s the afternoon.

    The 19th was pretty impressive too!

    Sadly, some of the golf was the stuff of nightmares
