Golf expert holds seminars in Botswana

The expert was appointed by Royal and Ancient (RA) Golf Club of St Andrews as a consultant to Botswana. The RA is one of the most prestigious golfing clubs in the world. Johnson came to Botswana on October 26 and left on November 2.

During his stay, he visited the tourism board and the Botswana National Sports Council (BNSC) for seminars. He discussed the ways in which golf in Botswana can be a possible tourism tool. He said people from other countries could be interested in coming to play golf in Botswana if there was infrastructure. "Before getting the infrastructure, we have to pull more youth to the game as this will ensure an increase in the number of competitors. With a lot of people playing the sport, the better the facilities will become," he said.
