Golf Day in aid of welfare a great success The organisers of the Bank Windhoek Holdings Golf Day in Aid of Welfare, which took place on Friday at the Windhoek Golf Club, have described the event as a success.The event saw 30 teams battling it out to win the trophy.
Corporates, government agencies and NGOs were invited to enter.
All proceeds will go towards various welfare organisations in Namibia.
Since its inception the Golf Day has raised over N$1.3 million in aid of welfare. This year N$100 000 was raised, but further funds will be raised by the raffling of a Venter trailer filled with groceries.
The trailer is sponsored by Lubbe’s Motor Group, while the groceries are sponsored by Shoprite Namibia.
This year’s golf day had the format of scramble drive.
The day concluded with a prize-giving ceremony in the evening, where each team received a prize for their efforts.
The winning team was from the bank’s Walvis Bay Branch, while Capricorn Asset Management was in second place.
Bank Windhoek’s Marketing and Corporate Communication Services took the third spot.
“We want to thank all the participants in this year’s Bank Windhoek Holdings Golf Day in Aid of Welfare. Without each team’s outstanding sportsmanship, this event would not have been such a great success,” said Riaan van Rooyen, Bank Windhoek’s head of corporate affairs.
