Gophers Golf League is continuing with charitable donations

The Gophers Charity Golf League hosts social games throughout the year to donate the earnings to different charitable causes.

In May, Bruce James, and the Gopher Charity Golf League were able to donate a wheelchair and a rolator (walker) to Ilana Thomas (12) for her rehabilitation.

This courageous girl has Down syndrome. She underwent brain surgery at Unitas Hospital in Pretoria on Monday 24 January. Pusher syndrome was subsequently diagnosed after she also suffered severe seizures and had a stroke on Christmas Day 2021.

With special golf days, they raise money for children and organisations that need a boost.

To assist the charity golf league join them for the next golf game on Sunday August 7 at the Lydenburg Golf Club. It will be played in an IPS format, with a shotgun start at 08:45. Sponsors are welcome to contribute at R3 500. All Gophers games are social events to raise charity funds for those in the area who are less fortunate.

The annual Skukuza Golf Tour will be from Friday 14 till Sunday October 16. Some of the Kruger Park game rangers will join the Gophers for golf on Saturday.

Players and their guests will be accommodated in the Skukuza Village and they will play 36 holes on the Skukuza Golf Course.

The tour entry fee is R2 500 per player and R1 000 per non-playing guest. This will cover two nights’ accommodation, a dinner on Friday evening and a full breakfast on Sunday.

Further information can be obtained from Bruce by leaving a message on 082 801 6821.
