Yzerfontein

Also known as Bushman Sands Golf Course, but get this - a pilot on a private South African flight to Port Alfred ran into turbulent weather. After circling around he realise he wasn't going to make it to Port Alfred and would have to make an emergency landing.

What better place to land than on the esteemed Bushman Sands Golf Course's immaculate fairways. Besides 10 stitches in the nose and a broken front wheel not to much damage to his 1948 vintage plane or him.

Gary Player, the course designer, would not doubt be proud of the the robustness of the fairways!

River Club Mashie - read about how the Corporate Golfer wasted the course with his putter and wedge.

Just as a single little swallow doesn't make a summer, so a single little practise session, albeit how good, does not make one a pro golfer.
