GOLF NEWS at the Pezula Golf Resort & Spa

Blyth Reid, the Director of Golf at the Pezula Golf Club in Knsya, South Africa, advises that the golf course is looking great and is playing brilliantly again. Earlier this year 2007 the course suffered a severe setback when some of the grass on the fairways dried up completely due to drought conditions in Knysna. Thanks to recent good rainfall, the course has improved enormously and continues to recover every week.
