This Christmas, The Golf Trust is asking golfers and golf clubs to gift unwanted golf balls to youngsters in Ghana.
Fafali is a charity that delivers a Golf & Goal programme that provides golf coaching and mainstream education for children who would otherwise not receive it. If the children stay on the course, they are gifted equipment to continue their golf education alongside their schooling.
“The Golf Trust has worked with Falafi for the last three years, providing advice, coaching and golf equipment, but a recent shortfall in golf balls leaves the children with nothing to play with,” said Cae Menai-Davis. “We want to send a huge shipment of balls to them in the New Year to get 2024 off to a great start.”
It is very easy for golf clubs to get involved – you will need to have a donation point, put up some posters and share social posts, and in the New Year The Golf Trust will collect the balls.
The impact of Golf & Goal is not measured by the team at Fafali in terms of golf, but in terms of the life opportunities it gives to the children. That said, in just three years the pathway has already produced incredibly talented golfers, including Julienne Afi Amezado, who became the first African female to participate in the Mack Championship Invitational in America this year.
