The Provincial Commissioner’s Golf Day Orkney is set to take place on Friday, 6 February 2026, at Orkney Golf Club, bringing together members of the South African Police Service, business stakeholders and community partners for a full day of golf, networking and entertainment in the North West Province.
Hosted by the Acting North West Provincial Commissioner, Major General (Dr) G Naidoo, the event is positioned as both a sporting and social gathering, creating space for interaction and collaboration outside of formal environments. The Provincial Commissioner’s Golf Day Orkney is expected to draw strong participation from across the province, with a structured programme that balances competition, hospitality and entertainment.
A well-structured day on the greens
The Provincial Commissioner’s Golf Day Orkney will begin early, with registration opening at 08:00, allowing participants time to settle in, complete formalities and prepare for the day ahead. A 10:00 shotgun start has been scheduled, ensuring an efficient flow of play and allowing all teams to begin simultaneously.
The event will be played in a two-ball American scramble format, a popular choice that encourages teamwork and steady pace of play. This format allows golfers of varying skill levels to participate comfortably, making the Provincial Commissioner’s Golf Day Orkney accessible to both experienced players and social golfers.
Orkney Golf Club provides the setting for the day, offering familiar fairways and a course layout that supports both competition and enjoyment. The venue’s location and facilities make it a practical choice for an event of this scale.
