Windsor resident professional Riz Charania predicts some super golf with ongoing torrential rains currently pounding the country.
Charania, one of the top five best male pro golfers in the country, promised thrills and spills adding that the course is in pristine condition 'as our drainage is very good at Windsor'.
“I would candidly say holes 2, 11, 14 and 16 probably playing longer than usual due to the current rainy season," said Charania.
Some of the home players anticipated to shine on the occasion include Santi Villamizar playing off handicap 2, Avnish Bhandari playing off handicap 3 and scratch player Akshay Chandaria.
