G-Wear Mental Health Awareness Golf Day Champions Wellness at Copperleaf Golf Estate

Centurion, 2 May 2025 — The prestigious Copperleaf Golf Estate played host to the GWear Mental Health Awareness Golf Day on Thursday, 2nd May 2025, marking a meaningful convergence of sport, community, and purpose. This well-attended event brought together golf enthusiasts, mental health advocates, and corporate partners, all united in their commitment to destigmatizing mental health and promoting well-being.

With 34 fourball teams registered, the atmosphere was vibrant and competitive, yet grounded in a greater cause. The day began with a warm welcome, followed by tee-offs on the beautifully maintained, Ernie Els-designed course. Sponsored holes added flair and engagement, as players enjoyed not only the game but also the opportunity to network, reflect, and contribute to a pressing social issue.

Mental health remains a topic often left unspoken in many communities, and GWear’s initiative aimed to change that narrative. Through the event, participants were encouraged to openly discuss the importance of mental well-being, self-care, and support systems. Golf, with its calming environment and social nature, served as an ideal platform for this conversation—highlighting the therapeutic effects of physical activity, time in nature, and meaningful interaction.

As the sun set, the festivities moved to the clubhouse, where over 160 guests gathered for an elegant dinner and prize-giving ceremony. The Intocast team proudly claimed the top prize and took home the EWT Ford Wildlife Foundation floating trophy. A charity auction followed, raising additional funds for mental health initiatives and ensuring the impact of the day would extend well beyond the fairways.

The GWear Mental Health Awareness Golf Day was more than just a sporting event—it was a celebration of community, resilience, and the power of collective action. As the positive energy and conversations linger, this gathering has set a strong precedent for future events dedicated to mental wellness.
