Golfers find heavy rain at Wild Coast Sun, 1st round postponed 0

Posted on November 02, 2021 by Ken

PORT EDWARD, KwaZulu-Natal (October 6) – The country’s leading golfers arrived at the Wild Coast Sun Country Club on Wednesday morning for the first round of the SunBet Challenge to find heavy rain pouring down, eventually leading to the postponement of the opening 18 holes.

The good news is that the Sunshine Tour have been able to push the finish to Saturday, so the R1 million event will remain a 54-hole tournament.

Tournament Director Gary Todd was hopeful of all three rounds being able to be played.

“We had to postpone the first round because of a waterlogged golf course. The golf course has had over 100 millimetres of rain over the last three days, and the water table is just too high at the moment. The forecast is good for the rest of the week and there is a bit of a breeze, so we are targeting a Saturday finish,” Todd said.

The first three-balls will tee-off at 6.40am on Thursday.

    John 12:43 – “They loved praise from men more than praise from God.”

    Your standards should not be of the world, but rather of God.

    People have differing value systems and you cannot comply with all of them. Your essential values ought not to be influenced by the opinions of other people. If you allow yourself to be shaped by other people’s opinions and expectations of you, then your life will be governed by ever-changing values.

    If you live to please God alone, you will develop a strong character and a good reputation according to his principles.

    • Your word must be your bond.
    • Temper your candour with love.
    • Honesty must be an integral part of your being.
    • Refrain from harshly criticising others because you are aware of your own vulnerability.
