Elebula Open 2020

August 17, 2020

What a tournament, what great venues and what great hospitality.

COVID-19 regulations forced LGU to run the event as two separate events. But we still play for that one trophy. This tournament, that has only started in 2019, has already doubled in size in 2020. Yes the people were hungry for golf but also the people were hungry for competition golf.

The tournament started great at Zebula Golf Estate and Spa this year with great food served outside according to regulations and every player making their own food.

The scores were like follows.

End of day 1

So as the sun was setting at Zebula, the players were getting ready for a challenging gruelling 18 holes at arguably the best greens in the country but also a very tough walk at Elements Private Game Reserve on Sunday.

The players, spoiled with great weather, faced a course that was preparing for what should have been the Mid-Amateur IPT this year in October at Elements, now postponed to 2021. The rough was tough, and the greens were slick. Some big scores on some holes out there, but the winners were the guys who hit the ball the straightest and were the most comfortable on the greens.
