Nedbank for Good Series dazzles the coast
Golf
The Nedbank for Good Series has wrapped up its coastal swing in fine style, with three highly competitive and well-supported Rounds 10, 11 and 12 staged at the Henties Bay Golf and Lifestyle Estate, Rossmund Golf Course and Walvis Bay Golf Club.
Round 10 at Henties Bay on 16 August produced a rare double as husband-and-wife duo Elrico and Nicolene Janse van Rensburg won the men’s and women’s divisions respectively.
At Rossmund on 23 August, Joost Schneider took top honours in the men’s event, while Brenda Lens led the women’s competition.
The coastal swing concluded with Round 12 at Walvis Bay Golf Club, drawing an impressive field of 67 players. Defending champion Estelle Botha retained her women’s title, finishing ahead of Wilma de Wet in second place. In the men’s division, Wishes Nyoni edged victory on count-in with 44 points, while Eugene Slippers, also on 44, placed second on count-out. Heinrich Simon completed the podium with 41 points, as all of the top five players scored 40 or more.
Event organiser Dan Zwiebel praised the response from the coastal community.
“The coastal leg of the Nedbank for Good Series was a resounding success. We are incredibly grateful for the massive support we received from the players. The turnout at all three venues was fantastic and a testament to the growth of golf in Namibia. We have seen a significant improvement in the competitiveness of the players throughout the series, which is a positive sign for the sport.”
He also acknowledged the role of sponsors, noting that their support remains vital in sustaining the series.
Nedbank Namibia’s chief commercial officer, JG van Graan, highlighted the broader impact of the initiative.
“As money experts who do good, the Nedbank for Good Series aligns perfectly with what we want to achieve in the communities in which we operate. The proceeds from this year’s series are directly benefiting Agra ProVision. We are confident our contribution will make a significant impact on agricultural communities in need.
“The nine previous rounds have been highly successful. We are particularly pleased with the three new additions this year, which have expanded our reach and brought more players and communities together for a fantastic cause.”
The series now moves inland to the Windhoek Golf and Country Club for its penultimate round, before culminating in the grand finale at Omeya Golf Club. Here, winners of all 13 rounds will compete for the 2025 Nedbank for Good Series title.
One of the country’s premier charity golf events, the Nedbank for Good Series is made possible through the generous support of its partners, with Nedbank Namibia as title sponsor. Co-sponsors include Autohaus Windhoek, Vivo Energy, AfricaOnline, Agra, B2Gold, Gondwana Collection Namibia, JTC Namibia, King Price, Pupkewitz Megabuild, Town Lodge Windhoek and WV-Manufacturing, while Future Media serves as media partner.
