It was a sunny Sunday afternoon- what better than a hit of golf. This time we thought we should experience our local driving range instead of the over-the-top World of Golf (refer to earlier blog entry).
The local driving range is so low key and relaxed... R30 (~AUD6) for a bucket of balls, friendly pro and pro shop, bar, bistro etc. Everyone collects their bucket of balls along with the mandatory 4 savanna's (beers) before finding a spare grass plot.
Funniest thing was seeing how they collect the used golf balls from the fairway/paddock. 4 black men are sent into the fields every half hour wearing a motorbike helmet as only method of protection. Of course play doesn't stop... ouch!! Sadly, it was a very funny sight to see. OH&S clearly not an issue in South Africa.
