SA disabled Golf Open underway

Some of the world's top disabled golfers are currently taking part in the Nedbank South African Disabled Golf Open. The tournament is being played at Erinvale Golf Estate in Somerset West.

Swimmer Natalie du Toit is living proof that those who don't give up on dreams will succeed. These golf players haven't given up on life either. Some only have use of one arm, others move around the course confined to a wheelchair, while the visually impaired are also eager competitors.

Being played at Erinvale for the second year running, the SA Disabled Open has grown into a truly international event. Eleven of the 91 participants are from overseas representing the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands.

Mick Horseley a leg amputee from England and Northern Ireland's Jan Dinsdale playing in the visually impaired section are both hunting their third SA titles. The South African challenge is led by Danie Slabbert, Iglin Grobbelaar and Robin Singh.
