On 24 October 2024, we hosted our annual golf day at Modderfontien Golf Club. Sponsors set up early in a misty and cool morning, but by the time the golfers arrived, the sky had cleared and a beautiful day lay ahead. Excitement filled the air, as LITTLE EDEN staff and residents welcomed players and sponsors, before the golfers headed out to the tee boxes for an 11:00 shotgun start. We had 31 teams participating, with the Portage Freight four-ball taking first place, winning cooler boxes filled with amazing goodies.
Your swing made an impact
The day was filled with heart, not only for the game. Over R245 000 was raised towards the care of our LITTLE EDEN residents. Sponsors offered a range of experiences, from wine tasting to a physiotherapist offering advice. Kietzman Auto hosted pro golfer, Caryn Louw, who bravely took on 124 golfers and assisted us in raising R6 695 on the day. Congratulations to Devon Jardim, for showing the pro how it’s done! Although we hoped that someone would get a hole in one on the 9th, sadly it didn’t happen and we look forward to 2025 and the possibility of celebrating a LITTLE EDEN hole in one.
