Adding a philanthropic touch to the event, Bel Aqua Ghana contributed to environmental sustainability by donating 15 rubbish bins. These bins will aid in waste separation at the Bok Nam Kim golf course, aligning with the tournament's commitment to promoting a greener and cleaner environment.
As part of the prize package, all tournament winners were given the opportunity to select golf equipment, including golf bags, irons, 78-degree wedges, drivers, and putters. This not only celebrated their golfing achievements but also provided valuable gear for their future endeavours on the golf course.
The Impaction Charity Golf Tournament proved to be a successful blend of sportsmanship, social responsibility, and advocacy for the Sustainable Development Goals, leaving a positive impact both on and off the golf course.
