Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox golf season The 1984–85 Southern Africa Tour was the 14th season of the Southern Africa Tour, the main professional golf tour in South Africa since it was formed in 1971.
Season outline
A variety of golfers from South Africa and Zimbabwe had success at the beginning of the season. At the first event, Safmarine South African Masters, Tony Johnstone defeated Fulton Allem in a playoff.[1] At the second event, the Goodyear Classic, John Bland birdied the final four holes of regulation and the first playoff hole to defeat Nick Price.[2] Price, however, won the following week at the ICL International.[3] Chris Williams and Gavan Levenson won the next two events.[4][5]
The remainder of the season was dominated by Mark McNulty. At the Swazi Sun Pro-Am he holed a 25 foot birdie putt on the final hole to defeat Simon Hobday by one shot.[6] The following week, at the AECI Charity Classic, Paul Way was victorious by five strokes.[7] The following week, at the Palaboro Classic, McNulty won in a playoff over Hugh Baiocchi.[8] McNulty would go to win the Order of Merit.[9]
