Junior Golf Foundation (Kenya) is one of the beneficiaries of golf balls donated by the DP World Tour.
DP World has collected used balls from tournaments across the Tour this season to help grow global golf and drive positive community impact.
DP World has partnered with five organizations around the world, that will benefit from the initiative.
They include—Junior Golf Foundation (Kenya), South African Disabled Golf Association (SADGA), European Disabled Golf Association (EDGA), The Golf Foundation (India), and an all-female golfing group in the UAE (Chicks with Sticks).
DP World has leveraged its logistics and supply chain expertise to collect the used golf balls and transport them around the world in a bespoke shipping container.
Daniel van Otterdijk, the Group’s chief communications officer said: “Through our sponsorship of the DP World Tour, we wanted to find both a meaningful and memorable way to give back to the sport. This initiative is a great way for DP World to showcase our logistics and supply chain capabilities and expertise.”
He added: “By distributing the golf balls to the organizations that need them most, we are supporting initiatives that help to share the joy of playing golf. We look forward to hearing how the balls have impacted the game around the world.”
“This donation comes at the right time when JGF is in the process of demystifying golf and establishing ‘Golf Mashinani’. We will distribute the balls to all clubs in support of junior programs and also to juniors who can’t afford them,” said Regina.
