The promising stars will be accorded full junior membership of the club and will participate in tournaments on behalf of the club under the mentorship of Gavan Levenson and Loyiso Barnes from the Ekurhuleni Golf Union.
“We are hoping that some of these kids will eventually be able to enroll at the University of Pretoria’s High Performance Centre and develop successful golfing careers,” said Ekurhuleni’s director of Sports and Recreation, Atwell Sijadu.
The SA Open Legacy Project will include support in terms of counselling, mentorship, provision of transport and refreshments for the kids when they need to travel to competitions and tours.
