Our Partners
Royal Cape Golf Club
Over the past three years, Royal Cape Golf Course has played a pivotal role in fostering the growth and development of over 100 students through its dedicated support. This commitment to nurturing young talent has created invaluable opportunities for aspiring golfers, providing them with the skills, training, and resources needed to excel in the sport. As of now, the Academy continues to thrive, with 40 students actively enrolled, benefiting from the high-quality coaching and facilities offered by the course. The ongoing development of these students is a testament to the course’s dedication to uplifting the next generation of golfers.
The relationship between the Academy and Royal Cape Golf Club is a remarkable gesture of goodwill, driven by the generosity of its manager. This partnership has provided the foundation upon which the Academy was built, and it continues to be a driving force behind its success. Without the unwavering support of Royal Cape Golf Club, the Academy would not have come to fruition, nor would it be able to continue providing these crucial opportunities to young golfers. The club’s involvement is not just a sponsorship but a meaningful investment in the future of the sport and the community.
Norrköping Söderköping Golfklubb (NSGK)
This year, we were especially thrilled to welcome our new international partners, Renströmmen Golf and Norrköping Söderköping Golfklubb (NSGK) from Sweden, whose support and participation added a global flair to the event. The Renströmmen Golf Day, held on 31 August 2024, was a remarkable success, showcasing the spirit of collaboration and passion for golf that drives our community.
Building on the success of 2024, Renströmmen and NSGK once again contributed in August 2025, continuing their strong support and making the fundraising event a celebrated annual fixture on the NSGK calendar. We extend our heartfelt thanks for two years of partnership that have enriched our programs and strengthened international ties. Together, we look forward to creating even more impactful opportunities and memorable golfing experiences.
