The finalists are made up of all the winners of the Nedbank for Good regional events. This showcases the widespread appeal and reach of the series and it’s purpose of taking the game of golf across the country.
The top contenders from Omeya, Oranjemund, Gobabis, Okahandja, Mariental, Oshakati, Grootfontein, Outjo, Henties Bay, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, and Windhoek will clash on the greens on Friday, promising a high-stakes and competitive showdown in this thrilling final.
Series organiser, Dan Zwiebel, has expressed immense pride in the series’ growth and impact over the years.
“This year marks an exceptional occasion for us. While last year’s highlight was raising N$1 million, we’re proud to have added three new venues this year, enabling us to reach all 13 registered golf courses in Namibia for the first time.”
Zwiebel highlighted the positive impact of the series on these smaller communities, noting that each of these towns has a very special story. ‘Seeing local fraternities invest in preparing their golf courses was fantastic. One could feel a definite upbeat mood in these small towns, and that was a big highlight for us this year.’
Preparations for the upcoming final event are in full swing, and the curators have paid close attention to detail to ensure a memorable experience for the players. The finalists will receive VIP treatment, including free accommodation and transport.
