12 years of playing golf next to Rhino

By

The privately owned Kragga Kamma Golf Course was founded in 2001 and started off as a very rough and modest 9 hole lay-out for social golfers. In the early days the only T-box was loaded on weekends and holidays, making it a long and frustrating wait for a slot to begin your game. This prompted the development of the second 9 holes and several revisions and length extensions to the original 9 holes. Work on the second 9 holes started early in 2011 and was completed in October 2011. The second … [Read more...] about 12 years of playing golf next to Rhino

Shades of Sitting in the Prefects Room

By

So this e-mail lands in my inbox. It is from my old head boy and just like in the Prefects Room he is asking us to do stuff for him again. This time it involves a relatively good cause and the Longhair's future ex-drums teacher, Gino Fabbri, so I cannot say no. The gist of the plea from "Not So Young Anymore", Michael Jarvis goes as follows: "Elsen Academy is holding its annual golf day at the PE Club on Tuesday, 21 August 2012. This is the central fundraising event of our calendar for the … [Read more...] about Shades of Sitting in the Prefects Room
