The South African Disabled Golf Open, the fulcrum of the South African Disabled Golf Association season, will have a new title sponsor for 2006 in Nedbank, who today announced their support of the SADGA’s flagship event.
This follows the recent announcement that SA Disabled Golf Open will also have a new venue this year, the Graceland Casino and Resort, playing host when the tournament takes place from May 3 to 6, 2006.
Sponsorship of the Open follows Nedbank’s funding of a series of swing clinics for golfers with disabilities and a longstanding sponsorship of the South African Paralympic team.
The first SA Disabled Open featured 13 disabled golfers, predominantly amputees. From its humble beginnings the event has exploded and this year, the Nedbank SA Disabled Golf Open will feature a 120-strong field featuring the cream of handicapped golfing talent from across the nation, including some 30 international participants.
To conform to international standards, the tournament will be played according to the standards of the EDGA (European Disabled Golf Association), of which South Africa became a full member in 2003.
