De La Salle Holy Cross College held their annual 2020 US Masters Draw on 31 May. This fundraiser has been running for 14 years at the school and only 2 000 tickets were sold.
The prize included four four-day badges to the US Masters tournament in Augusta next year; four business class tickets, accommodation and transfers – this prize is worth about R700 000.
The US Masters Tournament is a major championship in the professional golf scene, it is scheduled annually for the first full week of April. It is also the first major of the year, and it is always held at the same place, the Augusta National Golf Club, a private course in the United States, in the city of Augusta, Georgia.
The excited guests at the draw were treated to a cocktail party and resounding performances from the college’s marimba band, the Pipe Band and the emcee for the evening was John Robbie, radio presenter on the popular station, Talk radio 702.
The well-known presenter closed his eyes and drew the winning ticket from the barrel and phoned Sharon Gordon, the winner, who was unable to attend the draw. Gordon was over the moon with delight, she will be joined by her husband Rob, and two of their friends at the 2020 US Masters tournament.
