This week is the Investec South African Open Championship at Durban Country Club. This is in my opinion the premium golf event of the year with so many of the best South African golfers competing.

Durban has once again been hit with heavy rains, but just look at the work that was carried out on Wednesday after the downpour on Tuesday evening. The team from Matko Turf and The DP World Tour who are looking after the course preparation have to be congratulated for their tireless efforts.
