The term GOLF is believed by many to have originated in Scotland many years ago when the game was invented. It was ruled that it was a game for "Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden" and thus the acronym and word GOLF entered into the English language. Today, that ruling no longer applies and there are many women who play the sport right up to professional level. The past weekend, Peter and Glenda had hired a chalet at the Langebaan Country Estate for a week and we joined them from Friday through to Sunday morning. On Saturday morning we took a drive down to Club Mykonos where one of us had struck it lucky at the casino and won some cash, and another had won a 21 day holiday for four at any of 90 different resorts in South Africa, Namibia or Mauritius.The luxury 3 bedroom units at the estate come fully furnished with designer furniture, with a well equipped kitchen with all the mod-cons. A Hi definition LCD Flatscreen TV with DStv satellite channels is inclusive. The unit also has it's own undercover braai/barbeque facility and needless to say, we had a braai on Saturday evening, by which time Tony and Jenny Kallis had joined us. The estate features an 18-hole golf course recently upgraded to USGA standards under the supervision of the Gary Player Black Knight design team. In addition guests have access to the floodlit tennis courts and club swimming pool. There is also a bowling green.
