Live Auction: Closed

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the participants of our first live online auction on the 1st of July.

It was definitely not your usual auction and, despite the economic pinch everyone is feeling due to the ongoing lockdown, we were able to raise nearly R300 000 to boost the GolfRSA Help Fund, aimed at supporting our caddies and casual workers who continue to be affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

A big thank you to onlineauctions.africa for hosting this one-of-a-kind experience, and our two auctioneers – Philip Powell and Dan Nicholl.

Thank you to everyone who donated to the auction and who supported South Africa’s caddies and casual workers!
