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.

    2 Corinthians 5:17 – “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come!”

    By committing yourself completely to the Lord, you will become a good person. Our personality yields to Christ’s influence and we grow into the likeness of him.

    This will not happen through your own strength, abilities or ingenuity, no matter how hard you try. When you open yourself to the Holy Spirit, your personality is transfigured and your lifestyle transformed.
