Yesterday we ventured onto the golf course to play nine holes. Luckily Pete could finish work at 3.30pm which was sufficient time to fit in the 9 holes in daylight.
We played at Johannesburg Country Club which is in Woodmead (just around the corner from Pete's work). It is a private and exclusive golf course, however non-members are able to play during the week. The course was in beautiful condition. All of the tees, undulating fairways and semi-rough have beautiful manicured carpets of green grass. The course is designed on the South African bushveld, so even the rough and numerous water challenges were picturesque and attracted a lot of birdlife.
Jen is obviously suited to her new clubs... she got a par on a par 5! Not bad considering she has only played a handful of rounds in 15 years. Let the challenge begin!
The round was finished with the mandatory drink overlooking the expanse of Sandton at dusk. What a great way to end a working day.

Jen's chip was less than 20cm from the hole!
