I leave on the 13th and I notice only one course mentioned. Somebody somewhere might know of more.

I will be in Johannesburg and Cape Town for the most part.

If not I will be making my own custom course like Puerto Rico! :D

I can't bring all of discs but hope to have some others from SA to get started in the sport.

My advice . . . print out some business cards . . . play courses not listed on here and spread them out to everyone you meet and post them at the beginning of the course. Lets go international!

Not to scare you but disc golf is not even mentioned on the willows website . . . maybe they just dont know it should be advertised

It's brand new. Just opened less than a month ago. Not my main reason to go to Africa anyways. Going to visit my wifes family.

Only get to play during some quick breaks.

Odds are we play some local parks and any place we can, but will try and hit up this course since we will be close. Another website has it listed with 18 baskets and multiple tees. They also had a contact number so the only way to find out is see for yourself! :D

I played the Joburg course today! Trees and poles for baskets!

When I was leaving, two guys came up to play. They showed me the real way to play the course and said I was the first American they know of that has ever played the course.

Pics on my facebook if you care. When I get back I will upload them here.

Still in Africa. Getting back soon... When I do I have lots of great stories to share. DG over here is just wild. When people see that you can launch this plastic thing 350' they freak.
