We are so pround of our Sure Golf Day here in George and need to share our photos of the Golf Day on the 19th October where we sponsored a 4-ball as well as the 17th Tee.
It was a successful, fun filled day, despite the wind!
We generously received sponsorship goodies from Beachcomber, Thompsons, Delta, Air France/KLM, Avis and TIC. We made up a hamper with Beachcombers sponsorship and added a bottle of wine, biltong and chocolates andmade up a similar hamper from Sure Outeniqua Travel. These were given out as prizes at the official prizegiving that night. The rest of the “giveaways” were handed to the golfers, as they came through, for nearest the pin and a few boobie prizes for landing in the water right in front of our stand.
