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.
