The Nelson Mandela Invitational at Arabella
I was reminded this weekend that next month we have the Nelson Mandela Invitational golf challenge at the Arabella Golf course in Kleinmond, near Hermanus.
I drove up about two years ago and it was quite a fun day out, just cruising around the golf course. I still remember seeing Ronan Keating, who in real life is quite short! Seriously, he is tiny. But he is obviously not too worried about this because he is a millionaire( In dollars, or pounds or yen or something), he sang the crooning song “When you say nothing at all” for the movie Notting Hill, he is Irish so he can probably drink anyone under the table and there is no doubt that chicks dig him. I would have two foot cut off of me for that lifestyle!
I also saw Jodie Kidd there, and she is not really all that spectacular. I never thought she was too much of a spectacle in photos, and in real life she is not too great. Mind you, she is not exactly ugly.
Anyway, from what I currently know, it takes place next month, from the 23rd to the 25th of November. I think the real celebrity event takes place from the Saturday, the 24th of November.
For the people playing, it costs $25000 to enter, and money raised benefits the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund and the Gary Player Foundation.
It’s worth taking a drive up(Must speak to Jerry D about Bombing up there) for the Nelson Mandela Invitational at Arabella to spot the celebrities, have a drinky drink and bronze yourself in the sun to within inches of looking like an Italian fashion model. I know I’m keen.
I will keep you updated.
