We kicked off the year with four incredible beneficiary partners. Today, we proudly support six registered beneficiaries, each making a profound difference in their own way — from early childhood nutrition and education, to wildlife protection and paediatric cancer support.
Two new organisations joined our family in 2025:
- Sinethemba Hope House – A safe haven in Benoni offering love, structure, and a fresh start for children who have been abused, abandoned or neglected.
- Connected Conservation Foundation – A pioneering global initiative using satellite tech and ranger support to protect endangered species and fragile ecosystems.
These additions reflect our commitment to supporting diverse causes aligned with our core values: fun, compassion, growth, and sustainability.
A Champion in the Making – Aldrich Potgieter Makes History
One of the most exciting highlights this year came from the fairway- Academy alumnus Aldrich Potgieter claimed a stunning win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, becoming the youngest South African to secure a PGA Tour title.
His victory is not only historic — it’s deeply meaningful. It proves the power of early investment in young talent and the transformative effect of mentorship, structure, and belief.
Golf Development Clinic Success
In June, our team hosted a successful two-day Junior Golf Development Clinic in Montagu. Led by a PGA professional, the event gave young players in the region access to world-class coaching, while reinforcing confidence, discipline, and sportsmanship.
These clinics are a vital part of our mission — opening doors, nurturing talent, and using golf as a tool for growth.
