The promise of warmer weather brings people outside to play and have fun, including at Senwes Park's Stadium Gholf, in association with OFM, on 9 and 10 October. Play 18 holes at R500 for a four-ball, or R800 for two four-balls. Adrenaline junkies can look forward to the Ghaap River Xtreme event from 24 to 26 October at the Broadwater Resort near Douglas. Wakeboarding, cycling, swimming and the biggest raft race in Africa are just some of the highlights to look forward to.
