I am reliably informed that Serengeti golf course has been chosen to host the SA Open for the next two years. It is a great honour for a new golf course like Serengeti, and a course that I have always enjoyed. I am sure the greens are going to frustrate a lot of the professionals, but they certainly will not struggle when it comes to distance – I would imagine they would probably going have to lengthen a few holes at Serengeti.

One has to carefully guard against the interests of the people living on the estate, together with the requirements of the PGA in holding the tournament but given that Serengeti is at an early stage of its development, and there is not too much building going on, it is probably the best time for it to host it and it will form a proud part of its history one day. There is still no official word on this, and I could not find anything about it on the Sunshine Tour website, but that is what I have been told and hopefully we will see an official announcement soon.
