LHU charity golf day set for March
Golfers will gather in the coastal town to compete in a competition which in the past has helped many people around Swakopmund and Walvis Bay.
Langer Heinrich Uranium Mine (LHU) will be hosting its sixth Annual Charity Golf day at the Rossmund Golf course in Swakopmund on 4 March.
To date, N$657 550 has been raised through the event, with nine different child-centred charities within Swakopmund and Walvis Bay benefiting since the event’s inception in 2012.
The tournament format will be a three ball alliance, scramble drive on all holes, 2 scores to count on all par 4’s and 5’s and 3 scores to count on all pars 3’s. Playing off official handicap, maximum unofficial handicap allowed of 24.
A team entry costs N$3 000 whereas with N$5 000 individuals can enter two teams.
With a maximum of 36 teams allowed, the event is said to also provide excellent networking opportunities with corporate Namibia.
Last year, the tournament raised N$145 000, with the Walvis Bay Children and Family Centre (WBCFC) receiving N$80 000 to procure an oven.
About N$65 000 was used to acquire school uniforms for 125 vulnerable children from all public schools in Swakopmund and Walvis Bay.
Mark Barnard, team captain of defending champions Ricoh Namibia, said his team is ready to defend their title.
“Apart from making a difference with their contribution, organisations can use this great opportunity to foster relationships by inviting their clients to participate”, he said.
His team walked away with prizes valued at N$10 000, sponsored by Danste Industrial and a floating trophy sponsored by Eco Tech.
