GOLF.GARA. It’s Big in the Bushveld as Sunshine Tour players eye SDC Open glory
BELA BELA, Limpopo – It’s the start of something big in the bushveld this week. Bigger than the elephants that usually form part of the SDC Open prize giving at the Zebula Golf Estate & Spa. Big in the sense of the opportunities that accompany this first week of six vital weeks on the Sunshine Tour.
The SDC Open starts a run of four tournaments co-sanctioned with the HotelPlanner Tour, and this is followed by two tournaments co-sanctioned with the DP World Tour.
The four HotelPlanner Tour events – the SDC Open, the CIRCA Cape Town Open, the NTT Data Pro-Am and the Jonsson Workwear Durban Open – tee off the Road to Mallorca and the chance to graduate to the DP World Tour at the end of the season, which several South African golfers have already benefitted from. Last year JC Ritchie became the first South African golfer in history to finish top of the Road to Mallorca Rankings.
