  • THE SUNSHINE BOYS (The Amazing Saga of South Africa's Sunshine Tour Professional Golf Circuit) Written by Dan Retief with Cont
    THE SUNSHINE BOYS (The amazing saga of South Africa’s Sunshine Tour professional golf circuit) Written by Dan Retief with contributions from many journalists who have chronicled the game, this beautiful large-format, coffee-table book presents a broad compilation recording the amazing achievements of the golfers of South African, a country with fewer golfers than some American states, indeed fewer golf courses than some American states. Southern African players have captured 27 Major championships, 16 Senior Majors, won the World Cup five times and the Dunhill Cup twice. Golfers from the southern tip of Africa have won 125 US PGA Tour titles, 184 European Tour titles and five; Bobby Locke, Gary Player, Nick Price, Ernie Els and Retief Goosen have been inducted in the World Golf Hall of Fame. This official history of The Sunshine Tour, which provided the springboard for not only the exceptional international success of South African golfers but also many Europeans and Americans who took important steps in Africa. For all, South Africans and foreigners alike, it was a venture into the unknown, harking back to the ancient explorers who criss-crossed the Dark Continent. Akin to a great travelling circus the Tour became a model of logistic efficiency, setting up camp in every corner of the country to provide a setting and competitive arena for the itinerant golfers before striking the tent and moving the show to the next site. Along the way excellent golfing deeds were recorded; notwithstanding many hair-raising travel and accommodation experiences and on-course incidents only found in Africa.
