Never understood the fascination with chucking together as much fat, sugar and stodge into one tasteless lump.

So it can become president

Albertinia Golf Corse, Western Cape greens

Their "greens" are sand with a concrete cross through it and the hole in the middle of the cross. When you're on the "green" you move your ball onto the nearest concrete, no closer to the hole mind, and putt from there.

And if you land on the full on the concrete... Your ball takes off another 50 yards?

What is the reason for this?

This is done in small towns in dry areas where they just don't have enough water. But this is not the worst course in SA, they still have green fairways

The Aberdeen Golf course in Aberdeen, South Africa, in the middle of the Karoo, a semi desert, is a course where they scrape the fairways (no grass) with white painted rocks marking the edge of the fairways. You can tee up on the fairways but as the ground is too hard to take tees you either have a piece of cut hose pipe or a small piece of carpet you use to play from. The "rough" isn't really different, only you can't "tee up" in the rough. The "greens" are oiled sand greens and there's a scraper you use to smooth out your line to the hole.

In the Northern Cape small towns don't have golf courses but they have a golf "circuit." If it's your town's turn to host you go and lay out a course in the veldt during the week, similar to the Aberdeen course above.

These golfers often have a stone/rock club in their bags, an old clubs you use when you're in the rough amongst the stones/rocks so as not to damage your proper clubs

The sheep?

Goldfield West at Carltonville has zebras and blesbok roaming the field, Windsor course in Durban has vervet monkeys stealing your balls while Hans Merensky at Phalaborwa, next to the Kruger National Park, has any number of wild animals, from giraffes to elephants to cheetahs and leopards.

Story about Hans Merensky. One of the holes is named Leopard Kill. Apparently some female golfers were playing and as one was addressing her shot under a tree, blood dripped on her and looking there was a leopard in the tree with an impala it had killed.

I’ve stood there, planes don’t seem as low as it looks like in those photos.

Great little taverna, Mylos, just down the road from where these are taken.
