Rocklands is defined by strong par 3s which I’m pleased to see are stroked accordingly, the fourth (181 off white) being stroke 10, the sixth (194) stroke 4, 15 (155) stroke 13, and 17 (173) stroke 9. Club golfers will appreciate that because with their tricky greens these are not easy holes to par. The uphill sixth at Rocklands, to a large undulating green, could be the lowest stroked par 3 in SA? While there is a trend at some clubs to automatically make their par 3s high strokes, Gauteng clubs generally show much more discernment. Many par 3s in the region are stroked in single figures.
