So last night it was announced that Table Mountain had enough votes and are in the top 7 of the NEW Wonders of Nature!! Fantastic news to South Africans, people in Cape Town, Tourism companies, economists and even golfers. I decided to go take a look at this NEW Wonder of Nature, Table Mountain, from Milnerton Golf Course.
"The provisional New7Wonders of Nature are, in alphabetical order: Amazon, Halong Bay, Iguazu Falls, Jeju Island, Komodo, Puerto Princesa Underground River, Table Mountain. Here, Bernard Weber, Founder-President of New7Wonders, announces the names of the provisional New7Wonders of Nature at the New7Wonders headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland."
"The Official New7Wonders of Nature campaign started in 2007, immediately after the successful campaign to elect the man-made Official New 7 Wonders of the World, in which more than 100 million votes were cast and which took democracy to a new global level. From over 440 participants representing over 220 countries – more countries than participate in the Olympic Games – and through a national qualification and race to become one of the Top 77, as well as the Panel of Experts recommendation of the list of 28 Official Finalist Candidates, the Official New7Wonders of Nature is now in its Finalist stage in which the seven wonders themselves will be chosen. Voting for the New7Wonders of Nature ends on 11.11.11."
The change from man-made structures to treasures of nature
New7Wonders Founder and President Bernard Weber notes, “We are finding the New7Wonders of Nature campaign to be excitingly different from the first campaign. So many breathtakingly beautiful, natural places are still quite unknown to many. From waterfalls to fjords, rainforests to mountain peaks, freshwater lakes to volcanoes, we are discovering together the incredible beauty and variety of our planet.”

I could not stop looking at this New Wonder of Nature, Table Mountain. The view from Milnerton Golf Course over Table Bay is just amazing and something every golfer in the world should experience! I did not play that well and blamed it on the New Wonder of Nature, Table Mountain, off course....I should have kept my eye on the ball.
Thanks to my playing partners and Moshe Adir, founder of www.golfweather.com , for organizing the weather. We are so blessed to be living and working next to this Wonder of Nature!
