POLOKWANE – The RO Challenge, the official Review Golf Day, continues to be a highlight on the golfing calendar, drawing a crowd of avid golfers every month.
This month’s final round saw 94 participants and included renowned Afrikaans artist Pieter Rischmuller, also known as Piet Pompies, who added a special touch by entertaining guests before and after the prize-giving ceremony.
The competition followed an individual stableford format, and while the jackpot prize was drawn by Craig Hawken, no winners claimed the prize.
Two clubs for the day were awarded to Dawie Groenewald, Papu Lukhanyiso, Lipson Mabusa, and Phil Mashakane.
The day was made possible thanks to the generous support of our generous and committed partners: Theo Goosen Eiendomme, HurFin Financial Services, Platinum Park Superspar, Ford Polokwane, and First Technology Group.
As always, the RO Challenge was a day of friendly competition, community, and great entertainment.
