Quenton Steele Golf Day

By Craig Harding on November 13, 2007

Every year the residents of Fish Hoek get together to raise funds for Quenton Steele in the form of a Golf Day at Clovelly Golf Course. Quenton Steele is a Quadraplegic who was tragically paralysed in a Rugby Accident over 10 years ago.

The Golf Day, which is now in its 10th year, was set up to raise funds, in order to give Quenton the 24 hour nursing care that he requires.

For the past 3 years Rhino Africa has sponsored two four balls in the Golf Competition This year our teams  ( which included Gareth Turner and his father, Terence Ryan and Roy and Cynthia Ryan ) did us proud ! Justine spent the best part of what turned out to be a rather cold and windy day selling socks for the charity and running bets on the various holes.

Rhino Africa, through the assistance of Rhino Tripping, British Airways, Budget Rent a Car, Three Cities and Tinga Private Game Reserve, managed to create a tour for the auction. The package consisted of transfers, return flights to Johannesburg, Car Hire, and 2 nights at Jatinga and 2 nights at Tinga. The tour was finally auctioned at an impressive ZAR 16, 000.00, the entire proceeds of which going to Quenton Steele’s charity.

It looks at this stage as if the entire evening managed to raise an impressive ZAR 130,000.00. Rhino Africa look forward to annually continuing to support Quenton Steele and his family in their very deserving cause.
