Golfing holidays are about discovery, inspiration, relaxation, fun, being in the flow and enjoying what you are doing. Those are also the core teachings of Living Golf, making it an ideal part of a golfer’s holiday.

Instead of swing mechanics we teach how to achieve a relaxed attitude and an effortless swing. Frustrations disappear and scores improve, ascending your playing experience to one of pure pleasure and enjoyment, to feel uplifted not only by the amazing beauty, wilderness and people of South Africa but also by each round of golf.

Living Golf is taught in English, German and French. It needs to be booked in advance, and may be conducted on any golf course/driving range in South Africa. Unlike traditional golf instruction Living Golf initially consists of a ½-day session on the driving range, followed by 9-18 holes of golf accompanied by Franz Rolinck. Please find below a couple of suggested options.

Living Golf believes in taking golf to the people. It is a way of breaking down barriers, communicating and bringing people together through the game of golf.

But why would anybody want to tee it up on a golf course amidst tin shacks in Soweto, a name which around the globe was identified with tremendous suffering, crime and poverty, a place of no hope? The simple answer is that it just might become the most memorable round of golf in your life.

The Soweto Country Club, located right in the heart of Soweto, has launched itself out of the painful memories of the past into a new era that pursues peace, community, fun and harmony with others and nature. It is a prime example for the inspirational transformation which has swept through South Africa in the last 10 years since the end of Apartheid. "To play its course is an honour, to meet its members is a lesson in life", says Nick Bayly of Corporate Golf Magazine, UK.
