He joined the Vulintaba team at the beginning of 2014, and has quickly fallen in love with the beautiful surroundings. Brendon was introduced to golf by some friends and progressed to playing in amateur tournaments. Need some advice on proper golf technique? Brendon enjoys teaching all ages and levels of players. He does, however, enjoy teaching beginners the most as he can then take them through learning the proper technique, from A to Z. I am very passionate when it comes to my job. I love the game and I love giving people the ultimate golf experience, Brendon van Nieuwenhuizen
Vulintaba National Hot Air Balloon Championship in Newcastle KZN, South Africa. Vulintaba Country Estate, a local lifestyle estate just 20 km outside Newcastle on the hills of the Northern Drakensberg grabbed the opportunity to become the proud title sponsor for the event. Vulintaba Country Estate hosted two of the events from within the lovely property with the Drakensberg in the backdrop. The Exco of BAFSA agreed that the National Championship would take place in Newcastle in 2014, and is open to the possibility of using Newcastle as a venue over the next 3 years. BAFSA also confirmed that they will support an International Shape Balloon Fiesta in Newcastle 28 th May 31 st May this year (weather permitting) with the possibility to launch it from Vulintaba Country Estate. With this annual series, we aim to cater for the whole family and since it is a family event, we would like to invite entrants to show support and cycle with their children, after they have completed their own race. Each event has been structured to accommodate every member of the family and consists of a 40km, 20 km and a 5km fun kiddies ride. With each event, the main race is a 40 km make no mistake, this race is a hard one giving true meaning to mountain biking. Cyclists will be entertained with great mountain bike single track and pristine nature all in one go. The 20 km race has been designed to cater for the novice or adult fun rider. If you would like to try your hand at mountain biking, this race is just for you. Though entertaining, we have tried to withhold any major big climbs and technical riding, to a certain extent. Should you encounter a difficult section/s, you could push your bike. Finally, the day ends off with the kiddies ride as a short course on the concrete tracks around the golf course.
