Matus Golf Day tees off for a good cause
With its strong sense of social responsibility and a deep-rooted commitment to building better communities, Matus annual Golf Day proceeds were donated to its chosen charity – Women and Men against Child Abuse.
The event was held on 7 August 2025 at the picturesque Glenvista Country Club and it also doubled as a networking and fun event.
This year’s event attracted an impressive field of 124 golfers, all teeing off in a 4-ball alliance format with a scramble drive. A shotgun start got the day underway, setting the stage for a fantastic (albeit cold) day on the greens. The atmosphere was relaxed, yet competitive, with plenty of opportunities for players to showcase their skill – or to buy back a bit of luck.
A number of holes featured exciting challenges and prizes:
• Holes 4 and 15 tested accuracy with the Closest to Pin and Hole-in-One challenges
• Holes 2 and 17 measured power with Longest Drive competitions
• And Hole 10 delivered a twist – the Closest to Water challenge brought plenty of laughs (and a few wet golf balls)
• The tongue-in-cheek Longest Day prize meant even those who had a bad day out would not go home empty-handed.
Beyond the fairways, the day had a bigger purpose. All proceeds from the event – including mulligan sales, sponsorship contributions, and other donations – went directly to Women and Men Against Child Abuse, the chosen charity for the day. It is a cause close to the hearts of many, and one that aligns perfectly with Matus’ broader commitment to building safer, more compassionate communities across South Africa.
THE DAY CAME TO A CLOSE WITH A PRIZE GIVING DINNER WHERE THE FOLLOWING GOLFERS WERE RECOGNISED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS:
1st Place: Rick Ellis, Muller Snyman, Shaun Combrinck, Anton Van Dyk
2nd Place: Dylan Thomas, Sibusiso Khumalo, Tshepiso Dumasi and Ruark Botha

A BIG THANK YOU TO THE SPONSORS
The day would not have been possible without the generous support of Matus’ supplier network, who stepped up in a big way – through hole sponsorships, prize donations, and cash contributions.
The support from these brands not only ensured a successful event but reaffirmed the strength of the relationships that underpin Matus’ operations.
