116 golfers take to the fairways for Drakensberg Primary School Golf Day

Teeing off at Newcastle Golf Club on Saturday morning, 28 May 2021— 116 golfers came together to support the Drakensberg Primary School Golf Day.

With athletes and hackers alike taking to the fairways, enjoying a great day with friends, the day served as a fundraiser, with monies gathered going towards revamping the Drakensberg Primary’s foundation phase playground. Additionally, with the pandemic placing immense pressure on the community, the event also focused on allowing Newcastillians to unwind and socialise.

Commenting on the event, Drakensberg Primary’s Principal, Pieter Hanekom, said, “We know things are currently difficult for people, but it feels as though my heart is pumping chocolate when looking at the community’s support.”
