Scholarship grant, fundraising golf tournament; A resounding success

The City of Masvingo is thrilled to announce the success of its Scholarship Fundraising Golf Tournament held at The Masvingo Golf Club on August 4th. The event exceeded all expectations, bringing together local and Harare businesses, community members, and golf enthusiasts for an unforgettable day of friendly competition filled with laughter and camaraderie.

This FUNdraiser tournament kicked off at 10am sharp with a shotgun start. The game was individual stableford. Players were greeted at each hole by a hole sponsor who entertained participants as they waited to tee off. Hole sponsors hosted games such as marshmallow longest drive and who could hammer in the most nails in 90 seconds.

Following the 9 hole round golfers were greeted back at the club house for halfway meals. Ideal weather and stunning views created a perfect setting for participants to enjoy the game. The event was followed by an incredible buffet dinner and a silent auction. The silent auction created some friendly bidding amongst participants raising further funds for the Scholarship.

The City of Masvingo would like to extend its sincere gratitude to all the sponsors, donors, and participants who contributed to the tournament’s overwhelming success. The collective efforts highlight the strong community spirit that defines Masvingo and the golfers’ commitment to being a vibrant section of the community for local businesses, community partners and citizens.

All proceeds generated from the tournament will be reinvested back into the community (City of Masvingo Scholarship Grant), channelled towards the selected 7 less privileged but intelligent pupils from Council owned schools. The package will include school fees, uniforms and stationary. The Target was USD 4000 and was met.
