Therefore, I challenge the sponsors and other stakeholders to adopt a school in Botswana.”
The tournament not only served as a platform for raising funds for charity but also aimed to spark interest in golf among the youth, encouraging them to participate in the sport. By engaging with local communities, the initiative hopes to inspire a new generation of golfers, fostering a love for the game while simultaneously addressing social issues through charitable efforts.
