Chance for local golfers to qualify
Golfers from the Plettenberg Bay Country Club will get their big chance to qualify for South Africa’s largest amateur sporting event, the Sanlam Cancer Challenge, on Tuesday, June 21. This will be their only chance as well.
For any amateur golfer the local Sanlam Cancer day is the first step on their way to Sun City, where the finals of this series will be played in October. The winners of the various club competitions will qualify for the regional finals from August to September, from where the winners will travel to Sun City to compete in the 36-hole Sanlam Cancer Challenge finals – and it’s not going to cost them a cent.
A total of 37 000 golfers took part in the 2010 Challenge, which featured 800 club competitions and 32 regional finals in an effort to raise R2,5 million for the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA).
“It must be every amateur’s dream to play in a competitive tournament on two of the finest golf courses in the world, each with an amazing history and pedigree,” said Gary van Loggerenberg, Sanlam’s Sponsorship Manager.
But the primary aim of the Cancer Challenge is to raise funds for CANSA. And South Africa’s amateurs, everyone of them, will join Sanlam’s drive for hope against cancer by taking part.
