From the Founder’s Desk

 
You may recall a few weeks ago, my offer to mentor and coach some previously disadvantaged Sunshine Tour players for free for the rest of this season. I’m delighted to say that we’ve had some nice progress already with the selected players. Allister de Kock managed to pre-qualify for the European Tour co-sanctioned Joburg Open last week. Unfortunately, he missed the cut, but gained great experience and a major confidence boost. This week, James Kamte has pre-qualified for the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek after making some improvements to his ball flight. Look out for his progress in the coming days.
