The highly anticipated Nedbank for Good Series coastal leg is set to get underway on 29 August 2026, ushering in three weeks of world-class amateur golf competition along Namibia’s coastline before culminating on 12 September 2026.
Widely regarded as one of Namibia’s premier amateur golf tournaments, the Nedbank for Good Series has made remarkable strides since its inception in 2020.
What began as a purpose-driven golf initiative has evolved into a nationally recognised sport- ing platform that combines competitive golf with meaningful community impact.
The tournament continues to attract growing participation and has become a fixture on the country’s golfing calendar, with players eagerly seeking opportunities to secure their place in the various regional events.
Since its launch, the series has raised close to N$1.5 million for charitable causes while reaching more than 70 percent of Namibia’s golfing fraternity. The 2026 coastal leg will comprise three events: 29 August 2026 – Rossmund Golf Course, Swakopmund; 5 September 2026 – Walvis Bay Golf Club, Walvis Bay; and 12 September 2026 – Henties Bay Golf and Lifestyle Estate, Henties Bay. Globally, golf continues to experience significant growth as more people embrace sport and active lifestyles.
The success of the Nedbank for Good Series mirrors this global trend, providing Namibian golfers with a professionally organised platform where competition is coupled with purpose.
Through the series, participants not only enjoy access to some of the country’s finest golf courses but also contribute to programmes that create meaningful change in communities across Namibia.
Nedbank Namibia spokesperson, Selma Kaulinge, says the continued growth of the series demonstrates the enduring appeal of sport as a force for social good.
“As money experts who do good, we recognise the power of sport to unite communities, inspire healthy lifestyles, and create opportunities for social and economic development.
The remarkable growth of the series demonstrates how purpose-driven sport can resonate with people. Every year, we see increased participation, stronger partnerships, and greater awareness around the causes we support.
That momentum is a reflection of the trust that players, clubs, and stakeholders have placed in the tournament over the years,” said Kaulinge. Series organiser, Dan Zwiebel, said the tournament is rooted in its ability to deliver exceptional golfing experiences while creating a lasting impact beyond the fairways.
“What makes the Nedbank for Good Series special is that it has grown organically through the support of the golfing community. Every year, the event becomes more competitive, inclusive, and impactful. The coastal leg is particularly popular because it combines outstanding golfing venues with a unique atmosphere that attracts players from across the country,” said Zwiebel.
