This is for my golfing buddies. We were invited to attend a "Jazz Brunch" at the Gaborone CC by one of the musically inclined doctors at PMH, Matt Dasco. We assumed that brunch was at the usual time, so we walked the 20 minutes to Gaborone CC at noon, only to find out that the "brunch" was scheduled for 3PM. We walked around, inspected the weight room at the Gaborone Sun Hotel (not worth the expense), and then had lunch, nicely served by a friendly young waitress. I chatted up the proshop attendant. There is an active membership, with tournaments every Saturday AM. Handicaps and scores are posted on the bulletin board, and club champions (both male and female) are memorialized on a painted board going back more than 30 years. There are caddies (50Pula for 9 holes, 100P for 18) (there are ~6.7 P/$). Club rentals are available. I asked "what kind of clubs do you rent" and he answered, "regular clubs!". From the look of the 2nd hand clubs for sale, I assume the available equipment is marginal at best. I brought with me 9 balls, tees, and a golf glove, and intend to play at least 9 holes sometime this week. There is a more upscale course 15k north of here, Phakalane, which I'll inspect later on.
We took a Combi back to the Main Mall (ironic similarity, don't you think?), and walked home, spending part of the afternoon in the pool cooling off.
