‘This is our way to thank our supporters’
One of the most sought-after golf days, the Let's PARTee Rooikat Golf Challenge, had 152 players take to the field at Mbombela Golf Club on Thursday.
It was Rooikat Wholesale Liquors’ fourth annual golf day and this year’s beneficiary was Pro Gratia Learning Centre.
A total of R40 000 was raised for the non-profit organisation.
“Thanks to all our clients and suppliers that support us throughout the year. This is our way to thank you. There was a great spirit among the players.”
“It is one the biggest golf days on the sport calendar that players don’t want to miss out on,” said one of the owners of Rooikat Liquors, Johan Breytenbach.
Well-known businessmen of the Lowveld, Kobus Jacobs (owner of Sonpark), Riaan Venter (Fermor) and Buks Esterhuizen (GM of Caxton local media printing and newspapers sales), and some of the Steval Pumas players, Hoffmann Maritz and Dylan Peterson, also took a swing.
Havanna – Live Music with Passion, entertained the players throughout the event.
The Barbosa Experience got the players on their feet at the after-party.
