The Royal Port Alfred Golf Course is celebrating its 29th anniversary of this prestigious event. 1996 was the inaugural tournament. There was a year skipped due to Covid. Next year will be the 30th anniversary, which promises to be huge.
Dave Wilson from Kimberly Golf Club started the Mad Hatter Tournament. It is a massive fundraiser for the club. They donate to 6 different charities, of which NSRI are one.
