Sergio Garcia has attended a special event promoting South Africa’s Legend Golf and Safari Resort. A select few people were invited to attend, with the Miss World Finalists joining Garcia at the golf resort in Limpopo. The golf course has been designed by 18 world class golfers, each of whom designed a hole. Whilst Garcia designed the par 4 16th, other golfers to design a hole include K J Choi, Retief Goosen, Padraig Harrington, Trevor Immelman, Bernard Langer, Colin Montgomerie, Justin Rose and Vijay Singh .
The golf course is due to be opened in March 2009 and includes an Extreme 19th hole. The hole is being dubbed as the world’s longest and most breathtaking par 3, and is only accessible by helicopter. Golfers must take their 394 yard tee shot from Hanglip Mountain which drops 470 yards to a green contoured like Africa. Only two people have ever found the green on the 19th – a feat that none of the Miss World Finalists were able to repeat.
Garcia said, ‘This is truly unique. I have never seen a hole like this and it’s a great challenge. I'm so glad I made par with one of my balls and my competition ball just missed the green and I managed to make bogey. What a hole, what a view, what a resort.’
