Schwartzel plays his part for junior golf
Charl Schwartzel will put something back into the system that helped him become a major champion.
Charl Schwartzel will put something back into the system that helped him become a major champion with his sponsorship of a tournament on the popular Glacier Junior Series this Sunday in Vereeniging.
Schwartzel has been a strong supporter of the Glacier Junior Series over the years, and again has put his name to the 11th tournament on this year’s series at his home club of Maccauvlei.
“Without events such as the Glacier Junior Series, golf in South Africa would not be where it is today,” the 2011 Masters champion said.
“It’s important to ensure the production line of great South African golfers keeps flowing.”
This Sunday’s tournament has drawn a strong field including Rupert Kaminski, Jason Froneman and Keegan de Lange.
The Glacier Junior Series is South Africa’s largest junior golf series, with the winners in each of the A, B and C Divisions qualifying for the National Final in October.
The overall champion will win an all-expenses paid trip to the prestigious Junior Orange Bowl International Golf Championship in the United States.
The national champion will also win an all-expenses paid trip to attend the World Elite Performance Golf Academy (WEPGA) in Florida after the Orange Bowl, and will join Dale Hayes on a trip to the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida, in January 2015.
