A letter from the Outgoing Chair
As the Executives Golf Club reflects on its journey since 2023, this farewell message captures the spirit of resilience, vision, and shared purpose that has defined the club’s growth. Drawing from a powerful childhood story of perseverance and long-term vision, it mirrors the club’s own evolution—from a bold idea into a trusted platform where golf, leadership, and business intersect. With the passing of leadership to Chairperson-Elect Moses Lekondeni, the message celebrates collective achievements, enduring values, and a future shaped by unity, integrity, and continued ambition.
Cherishing Our Shared Journey and the Path Forward
As I write this farewell message, I am reminded of a story from my childhood that encapsulates the true spirit of leadership and vision. There was a boy in a rural village whose dream was to grow his father's modest herd into the largest and most respected in the community. He faced monumental challenges: foot-and-mouth disease besieged his livestock, the harsh drought tested his resolve, and thieves stole some of his prized animals. Yet, through unwavering dedication and a deep commitment to his vision, he persevered. Over time, he built an extraordinary herd that made his family synonymous with quality beef in the village.
The Birth of the Executives Golf Club
When we started the Executive Golf Club in 2023, we set out to create a brand that goes beyond just the game of golf. Unlike traditional golf clubs that focus solely on leisure and competition, we set out to create a vibrant platform that emphasizes strategic business networking alongside our love for the game. Here, we foster a community where members uplift one another, collaborate in our pursuits, and forge partnerships that transcend the boundaries of the golf course. Our commitment to one another is what distinguishes us, and I believe this spirit will continue to propel us forward.
Building a Strong and Trusted Brand
In striving to build a strong and trustworthy brand, we understand that success is not instantaneous. It requires time, dedication, and the execution of crucial strategic objectives. Over the past two years, I had the privilege of leading a team that poured their hearts into shaping the Executives brand. I am proud to say that we have gained considerable momentum and respect within the golfing community, becoming a name synonymous with integrity and camaraderie.
Reflecting on the journey of the village boy, who overcame adversity to achieve greatness for his family, I see parallels in our collective journey at the Executives Golf Club. Just as he turned challenges into stepping stones, we, too, have surmounted obstacles, embracing change and emerging stronger. Our story is still being written, and the future is bright.
Passing the Torch
As we pass the torch to the capable and committed Chairperson-Elect, Moses Lekondeni, and his team, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you. Your continued support and enthusiasm have been vital in sculpting the vision for the Executives Golf Club. Together, we have begun to forge a brighter and more engaging future for all our members.
Thank you for your commitment and for being part of this remarkable journey.
