From the rugby field to the fairway - Ethan Hooker and Percy Montgomery, Sprinbok legends at Pezula.

We recently had the privilege of hosting Springbok legends Ethan Hooker and Percy Montgomery at the breathtaking Pezula Championship Golf Course in Knysna for a relaxed and engaging conversation about golf, rugby, and life at the highest level of sport.

Set against the spectacular backdrop of one of South Africa’s most iconic golf courses, the occasion brought together members and guests for a memorable experience. Ethan Hooker, one of the rising stars of South African rugby, joined the legendary Percy Montgomery, a Rugby World Cup winner and one of the most celebrated Springboks of all time, for a laid-back discussion that blended humour, insight, and stories from the world of professional sport.

The conversation touched on everything from memorable moments on the rugby field to the shared passion many rugby players have for golf. Both players spoke about the discipline, focus, and dedication required to perform at the highest level, while also sharing lighter moments and personal experiences that gave guests a glimpse into life behind the scenes of professional rugby.

Events like this highlight the special atmosphere at Pezula Golf Club, where sport, community, and great conversation come together. The stunning coastal views of the Garden Route, combined with the relaxed setting of the clubhouse and championship course, created the perfect environment for an afternoon that celebrated both South African rugby heritage and the love of the game of golf.

From legendary tries on the rugby field to perfectly struck tee shots on the fairway, the event was a wonderful reminder that sporting excellence runs deep — both on and off the field.

It was an honour to welcome these rugby legends to Pezula, and we look forward to hosting many more memorable moments at one of South Africa’s most scenic golf destinations.
