The Golf Fore Africa Team
Golf Fore Africa is dedicated to remaining a highly efficient organization with minimal operating expenses. We have four paid staff members and utilize many wonderful volunteers for our events and special projects. Each officer provides management and oversight of the organization as well as funds to offset the administrative expenses of the operating budget.
