Lest we ever forget it, golf is a game where things change dramatically all the time. I was following Louis Oosthuizen in his battle with George Coetzee when the unthinkable happened – he did not birdie the last two par 5’s, as one would have expected him to do and a player, many shots behind, Michiel Bothma, who had won the PGA previously, came through with a final 9-hole score of 30 and a 63 for the day to win the tournament by one shot. 

His dress code was quite incredible, as the photo alongside which I took, will show with long white bellbottom pants, which must have been at least 2 inches above the floor and his black shirt certainly did no favours in the heat! It is rather a large local tournament with more than R400 000,00 for first prize, about R300 000,00 odd for second prize and approximately R250 000,00 for third, so he certainly had a great afternoon!
