It is Telkom PGA time at Country Club Johannesburg once again. The Woodmead course hosts the tournament, and when I last looked it was rating about the 15th best course in the country. It is a fair course, where if you are having a bad driving day, you can get yourself into a lot of trouble! You need to keep it on the fairway, or in play, and if you do that, there are plenty of birdie opportunities – while not for regular golfers, but professionals!
It is always nice to see a course that you play regularly on television and it of course gives you a completely different perspective because many of the cameras are situated at heights that you would never actually see the course from. For example, on the third hole where an eagle chip of mine stopped short by about 5cm a week or so ago, the view is typically from way above the green, and unless one had climbed a tree during one’s rounds, one would never recognise the hole from that angle! I hope you will excuse the gratuitous reference to one of my few recent birdies.

I find Golf a very levelling game. Today you can cream the course, tomorrow play the same course and have a nightmare of a game. It is also a very relaxing way of spending ones time, if you do not let the game get the better of you, walking in the open air. To answer Bernadette's question, an eagle is two under par for any given hole.

I find golf extremely boring perhaps it's because I don't understand it. Luckily we are all different.

i am not a great fan of golf myself,but do know the johannesburg country club and must say it is a magnificent place and so is there golf course! and as you so rightly state with the televison camera's situated where they are you get to see things you would never see just walking on the course

I know nothing about golf. I have no idea what an eagle chip.
