Golfers in and around Potchefstroom might want to polish those clubs and stretch out the swing—it’s almost time for the 2025 Operation Compassion Golf Day, teeing off on 18 July 2025 at the Potchefstroom Golf Course.

This annual event, organised by Operation Compassion Potchefstroom, is more than just a good excuse to bunk work and hack your way through 18 holes—it’s a chance to support real community upliftment while pretending you're on the PGA tour.

Details at a Glance

• Date: Friday, 18 July 2025

• Tee-Off: 10h00 sharp (no “I forgot my glove” excuses)

• Venue: Potchefstroom Golf Course, Mooi River Avenue, Potch

Entry Fees:

• 4 Ball – R2000

• Hole Sponsorship – R1500

Format? Think shotgun start, better ball scramble (so you won’t be the only one losing balls in the bush), and even a “non-golfer play-off” for those who haven’t held a club since Putt-Putt in Margate.

Why This Day Matters

Operation Compassion isn’t just a catchy name—it’s a well-oiled machine tackling tough issues like poverty and unemployment in the area. From feeding schemes to skills development programmes, they’re all about creating real change. The Golf Day isn’t just about birdies and bogeys, it’s about backing those efforts and helping people stand on their own feet.
