Shot in the arm for BGU

BOHGA gave BGU P10,000 while Ethnic Investments donated 72 golf clubs and bags worth about P30,000 during a ceremony held at the Gaborone Golf Club (GGC) this week.

BGU president, Andrew Hall said the equipment and cash would go a long way in assisting them to implement the development programmes, particularly the juniors. BGU embarked on its first phase of junior development in 2002 with  185 players - 108 boys and 77 girls - and 12 trainers under a programme sponsored by the First National Bank (FNB). The first phase ended in 2007. Hall said that although 185 juniors were introduced to golf, none have become regular players or members of clubs. "We are therefore beginning the second phase of the junior development programme. The programme has been structured in a way that will cover all aspects of development, from junior to professional level," he said.
