Nedbank for Good series organiser Dan Zwiebel expressed excitement following the successful completion of the fourth round.
“It’s incredibly exciting to have brought the Nedbank for Good Series to a fantastic new venue like Okahandja Golf Club. Seeing the enthusiasm here just fuels our passion for growing the sport and its impact” Zwiebel said.
“We’re already looking forward to teeing off at two more new courses later this year, further expanding our footprint across Namibia. A massive thank you goes out to all the golfers whose unwavering support for this series translates directly into much-needed funds for disadvantaged communities.
“Our vision is to bring the Nedbank for Good Series to as many local clubs as possible.”
Zwiebel paid tribute to Nedbank Namibia for their support and hinted at further expansion.
“On behalf of Nedbank Namibia, it’s always a pleasure to see the series venture into new territories. The golfers truly impressed us with their skill and sportsmanship on the course, and their continued commitment to supporting the charitable causes at the heart of this series is commendable,” said Nedbank Namibia’s executive for retail and business banking, JG van Graan.
“We are incredibly excited about the addition of two more new venues later this season. The two new venues will undoubtedly bring even more enthusiasm and allow us to extend the positive impact of this wonderful initiative to more communities across Namibia,” Van Graan said.
The other new venues scheduled to host the series this year are Outjo and Grootfontein.
This year’s series proceeds go directly to Agra ProVision, whose goal is to train, service and support underserved agricultural communities.
The Nedbank for Good Series is co-sponsored by Autohaus Windhoek, AfricaOnline, Agra, B2Gold, Gondwana Collection, JTC Namibia, King Price, Pupkewitz Megabuild, Town Lodge, Vivo Energy and WV Manufacturing, with Future Media taking the role of media partner.
