The five tournaments that Dlamini had played so far include the Cape Town Ladies
Open played at the Royal Cape Golf Club sponsored to E200 000, Jabra Ladies
Classic played at Glendower Golf Club E600 000, SuperSport Ladies Challenge
played at Gary Player Country Club E400 000, Joburg Ladies Open played at Soweto
Country Club sponsored to E500 000 and the Dimension Data Ladies Challenge
played at Fancourt and sponsored to E600 000.
Next for Nobuhle is the Investec South African Women’s Open that will draw the
curtain on the 2021 season in the Sunshine Ladies Tour. The event is
co-sanctioned with the Ladies European Tour (LET) and will also serve as the US
Women’s Open qualifier this year. The championship carries a purse of €200
000 (About E3.4 million) and will be contested over 72 holes at Westlake Golf
Club from May 13-14. The West Lake Golf Club is an 18-hole parkland style course
designed by the members. With consultation and advice from professionals, many
significant improvements have been made over the years. The greens are all Poa
Annua which is a very delicate grass that requires lots of ‘TLC,’ but if
managed correctly, it delivers an excellent putting surface. Fairways,
semi-rough, tee boxes and rough are mainly Kikuyu, as is the standard in South
Africa.
