Throughout April, the PGA Baobab Course remained a vibrant centre for competition and community, even as the seasonal rains began to influence the schedule.

From our weekly Clubnites to specialized invitational events, the month showcased the skill and persistence of our members and caddies. We also had our seasonal greens maintenance programme underway as well, with temporary greens in place.

We celebrate all those who braved the elements and joined us at the Clubhouse and Pool Gardens for another memorable month of golf.
