Oranjemund successfully hosts Round 6 of the Nedbank for Good Series

 

Yolanda Pienaar and Peet Van Der Merwe won round six of the 2024 Nedbank for Good Series, which took place last week Saturday at the Oranjemund Golf Club.

In the men’s competition, Van Der Merwe scored 43 points to claim the top spot, with Wouter Ludeke scoring 39 points in second place and Gerrit van Rooyen scoring 38 points in third place.

In the women’s competition, Yolanda Pienaar took first place, with Magnaem Simon, the winner of the Tsumeb meet, coming in second place.

After winning the competition, Van Der Merwe said the weather and competition were good.

“I urge other players to consider playing in the Nedbank for Good Series as it is for a beneficial cause. Other corporate companies should also support this competition,” he said.

On her part, Pienaar said she had a fantastic day playing golf and fundraising for a worthy cause.

“I do recommend golf to other women to come and join us, as golf is good for health, mingling, and networking. Corporate companies should support competitions like this, as this also provides good advertising opportunities for their business,” she said.

This year’s series proceeds go directly to Agra ProVision, whose goal is to train, service, and support underserved agricultural communities.

The coordinator of the Nedbank for Good series, Dan Zwiebel, paid tribute to the main sponsor, Nedbank, and the co-sponsors for coming on board and supporting the event.

“We wouldn’t be able to host these series successfully without the support of our sponsors.” This was one of the biggest fields of this year’s Nedbank for Good Series. There has been an increase in participation, especially on the women’s side. Testament to this, one of the women who recently started training and playing golf, Magnaem Simon, won in Tsumeb recently, and today she came second,” Zwiebel said.

“We are thrilled to be part of this initiative, which seeks to train, service, and support underserved agricultural communities directly. Our participation in the series is consistent with our goal of being money experts who do good,” he said.
