SPGC hosts Stanbic Bank golf tourney

Selebi-Phikwe Golf Club's (SPGC) Palalani "Piques" Moitlhobogi told Mmegi Sport in an interview this week that the tournament has been sponsored to the tune of P20, 000.Moitlhobogi hailed the sponsorship, saying it was a clear indication of the significant role the private sector is playing in the diversification of the Selebi-Phikwe economy."The tournament comes at a time when the bank is in the process of opening a branch in the mining town.

Banks do not often go to areas where the economy is troubled. It (bank's move) goes to show that there is still hope for the economy of Selebi-Phikwe," said Moitlhobogi, a golfer of note. A golfing teenage sensation Leroy Pearmain, who appears set to dominate the golfing scene for sometime after managing to win an overall gross at the recent Phakalane Independence tournament, will be in the thick of things once again.
