    Howzit everyone

    Ok, being South African, this is a bit biased :-)

    With the USD/ZAR exchange rate being so lop-sided 15 Rands = 1 USD, wouldn't it be extremely cost-effective for WGT to fly over here, hire a chopper, and do the photography at the Gary Player course at Sun City, the home of the previously called Million Dollar Challenge, now called Nedbank Golf Challenge. The winner last year was Marc Leishman from Australia.

    It's a beautiful course, as can be seen here

    Alternatively, the course right next door, at the Palace of the Lost City, part of the Sun City complex and also designed by Gary Player, has this course, which features a par 3 with a crocodile infested lake to the left of the green :-)

    Cheers,

    Peter

    Great idea. 

    I've always wondered why WGT can't do smaller name courses. Probably would be cheaper. Do some courses that are non-major events or event non-tour courses?

    My favorite South African course is Leopard Creek. They play the Alfred Dunhill Championship in December there.

    There are thousands of courses that would be nice to see on here.  But WGT would save a pile of $$$$ just staying in the states.  Just my honest opinion.
