On 22 October 2026, the Gauteng Women in Insurance (GWII) hosted its annual Ladies’ Golf Day at the beautiful Blair Atholl Golf Estate, bringing together women and men from across the insurance industry for a day of networking, friendly competition and memorable moments.
The day was supported by OWLS Software as Main Sponsor and Innovation Group South Africa as Co-Sponsor, alongside industry partners who contributed to the golf-day experience, hospitality and prizes.
A day of connection
Players received registration goodies sponsored by Tracker and welcome drinks sponsored by Envirosure. Innovation Group South Africa sponsored the golf shirts, Old Mutual Insure provided golf towels, and Lombard Insurance sponsored golf caps.
Played over 18 holes, the event gave players the opportunity to enjoy the course, connect with colleagues and friends, and celebrate the relationships that make the insurance industry such a connected community.
Adding an extra element of excitement was the challenge: Are you brave enough to bet against a pro? South African professional golfer Shawnelle de Lange joined the event, bringing a special highlight to the day on the greens.
The four-balls were supported by Bryte, Camargue, Ctrack, Garrun Group, Guardrisk, Innovation Group, iTOO, Lombard Insurance, OWLS Software, Old Mutual Insure, QSURE, Q LINK and Tracker.
Ctrack sponsored the VPAR scoring system, allowing players to monitor their scores throughout the round. Ctrack and Genoa Underwriting Managers also sponsored holes, while Guardrisk supported the Ladies’ Putting Competition.
Off the course, Q LINK Holdings sponsored the gin bar, QSURE provided post-game snacks, and Glasfit Group captured the day as Photography Sponsor.
FAnews and Santam Specialist supported the event as Supporting Logistical Sponsors, while Camargue Underwriting Managers, FAnews, Fulcrum, Guardrisk, Innovation Group South Africa, Lombard Insurance and Old Mutual Insure contributed as Locker Sponsors.
Celebrating the competition and the prizes
After a well-played round, guests gathered for dinner and prize-giving, celebrating the day’s achievements and the friendly competition on the course.
The four-ball prizes were sponsored by GWII (first place), Camargue Underwriting Managers (second place), QSURE (third place) and Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr (fourth place).
The individual competitions and lucky draws added to the excitement, with Auto & General sponsoring the Nearest to the Pin competitions for ladies and men on Hole 3, and Tracker sponsoring the Longest Drive competitions for ladies and men on Hole 13.
Fulcrum sponsored two lucky-draw prizes, DigiCall sponsored the third lucky draw, and Guardrisk sponsored the Ladies’ Putting Competition.
Bringing the industry together
The GWII Golf Day is about more than golf. It creates space for the insurance industry to build relationships, strengthen professional connections and enjoy time together beyond the workplace.
With every swing, conversation and shared laugh, the 2026 event once again demonstrated the value of bringing the industry together.
GWII extends its appreciation to all the sponsors and contributors whose support helped make the day an enjoyable and memorable experience for everyone involved.
