Young golfing talent benefits from fundraiser
A fundraiser was held at the Springs Country Club on Friday for less privileged children who want to play golf.
Johannes Geldenhuys, who formed the Johannes Geldenhuys Golf Academy to introduce juniors to and teach them golf, says they have now formed a trust for children they have identified in the club and the academy and other future golfers who want to play golf but do not necessarily have the funds needed to play.
“All the funds raised on Friday will go into this trust towards less privileged children,” he says.
Around 90 golfers supported the fundraiser.
