Following the announcement that the prestigious Africa Open will keep its home in Buffalo City for the next five years, the SAGDB also received some wonderful news to boost its development programme in East London this January.
?We were delighted to receive the Callaway FT i-Brid Irons? that the Richer Future Foundation ? the official charity of the Africa Open ? gifted us with a R150?000 sponsorship to grow the programme in East London,? said SAGDB executive director, Ken Viljoen.
The Richer Future Foundation was launched during the 2011 Africa Open and its first major contributors were Retief Goosen, Charl Schwartzel, Louis Oosthuizen and Northern Ireland?s Darren Clarke.
?The Foundation invited tenders from various development organisations while the Sunshine Tour held the funds in trust,? Viljoen said. ?We went through a strict vetting process and we are extremely thankful that the Foundation selected us as one of the recipients from the trust brought about by the Africa Open,? Viljoen said.
The SAGDB is the only recognised official body tasked with Callaway FT i-Brid Irons development by all South Africa?s official golfing bodies, amateur and professional, and is endorsed by the R&A and Sports & Recreation SA.
SAGBD Border regional manager, Millie Zim, said The Richer Future Foundation sponsorship will specifically be put to use to expand the SAGDB?s development programme at Alexandria Golf Club in Greenfields over the next 12 months.
?The sponsorship will cover driving range fees, training equipment, club membership, green fees including balls and tees, meals and drinks at tournaments, coaching fees and transport to and from the driving range and golf course,? Zim explained.
?We launched our programme at Alexandria Callaway FT i-Brid Irons in January and we drew nearly 30 learners from George Randall Primary and High Schools. Once their administration is completed, we are expecting learners from Kuswag Primary to join and due to all the enquiries from the members of Alexandria Golf Club, we have invited them to let their children join as well.?
