Effort is best spent in the service of others.
For local golfers on Saturday, this meant a gruelling round of 18 at the Newcastle Golf Club during the Chinese New Year Charity Cup competition.
The format of play was better ball.
Representatives from the Newcastle Chinese Golf Association explained two donations of R10 000 each were made to St Anthony’s Child and Youth Care Centre and the Hope in Christ Mission.
These amounts were comprised mostly of sponsorships.
