Windhoek, Feb 1–The Nedbank for Autism Series will be teeing-off on Saturday, 5 February, at the Omeya Golf Club. The series, which is in its third year, was launched in February 2020 with the aim of creating awareness for the Autism Association of Namibia.
The 10-event series, like in the previous years, will be attracting golf enthusiasts from all across the country to compete in this coveted event. Event organiser, Dan Zwiebel, from DZ Golf, stated that as per previous years, players can look forward to events coordinated with attention to detail, amazing atmosphere, fun, but yet competitive. “This year, we are excited to announce that the Autism Series will be coming to Oranjemund Golf Club, as we continue to extend our reach across the Namibian landscape,” states Zwiebel.
In the last two years of the series, considering the impact of Covid-19 and its devastation on every sector of our economy, the Nedbank for Autism Series has managed to transcend on its set goals by raising over N$130 000 in the inception year followed by a massive leap to over N$215 000 in 2021. “The tally indicates that over N$300 000 has been raised for this charitable cause, which means we are doing better than what we have had anticipated given the current economic climate” says Zwiebel.
