The South African Golfers Yearbook 2010

4th annual edition

The Sa Golfers Yearbook is the official yearbook of the Sunshine Tour, South Africa’s premier golf tour, which includes events like the Nedbank Golf Challenge, the Alfred Dunhill Championship, the SA Open and the Swaziland Samsung Classic.

Please refer to attached media pack for the relevant information for advertising in the next edition.

We are currently working on the 14th annual edition to be published in December 2009.

Payment is only due 30 days after publication.

SA Golfer’s Yearbook is distributed throughout the year at all 19 tournaments providing Zululand with a full year of exposure.

SA Golfer’s Yearbook is distributed throughout the year through the following channels:

1. Corporate Nedbank clients
2. All members of the South African PGA
3. The Pro shops where the Sunshine Events are held.
4. To spectators, sponsors and corporate guests at all Sunshine Events.

SA Golfer’s Yearbook is focused on golf & lifestyle, incorporating golf estates/developments, golf events, equipment, travel both local & internationally, where to stay and play, etc.

Due to the targeted readership, distribution reaches the upper income groups (LSM 8 – 10), who are of an affluent nature with a high disposable income.
