Join us in giving back to the community!

PMGA has been running the incredibly popular AIM Series event at Durbanville Golf Club for two years now. Golfers of every level can practice their short game at a family friendly day out on the course. Each player begins the AIM series at the 25m Distance Marker and tries to reach their AIM based on their handicap status over 9 holes.

It’s the time of year when we all gather and share gifts, food and holiday cheer. Those of us who are more fortunate might even squeeze in a few rounds of golf. It’s also the time of year many of us think of how we can give back. And we thought what’s a better way to give back to our community than bring friends and families together, raise funds and the spirits of others with a charity golf event.

This year on the 2nd of December we are presenting a very special AIM Series Christmas Edition dubbed, “AIMtoGIVE“.

Proceeds for this event will go to LIV Cape Town. They are a Fisantekraal community based organization that bridges educational inequality by empowering vulnerable children and their families with quality early education, daycare, employment opportunities, and a garden that nourishes the children’s bodies and minds. It also functions as a “living classroom”.

We hope you will join us at this event!

How AIM events work

The AIM Series began in June 2022 and the six events last year had over 90 players taking part. It takes place at Durbanville Golf Club and is designed to encourage youngsters and those relatively new to golf to set foot on a golf course without being overwhelmed. It also offers a challenge to more experienced golfers to test their short game skills. This is an ideal opportunity for all ages and abilities to take part – mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters can make it a family occasion and we have seen some stunning improvement from several youngsters. Check out the event gallery and on our Instagram and Facebook accounts. We would love you to come and join us.

The 2024 dates and times will be on our calendar here soon.

Each player begins the AIM series at the 25m Distance Marker and tries to reach their AIM based on their handicap status over 9 holes. As each player progresses through the series and achieves their AIM, or better, the distance that they start from will increase by 25 metres at the next event but their AIM stays the same. If the player does not achieve their AIM they will have the opportunity at the next event to try again from the same distance.

AIM 36

There are up to six individual tees of different colours situated at 25m, 50m, 75m, 100m, 125m and 150m from the front of each green.

All new participants, irrespective of handicap, will play their first event from the 25m tees with the AIM of taking 36 strokes or fewer over nine holes. Once this has been achieved from 25m, you will progress in subsequent events to playing from the next tee up (50m) with the same objective – taking 36 strokes or fewer. This will continue until you have played from all six tees up to 150m in 36 strokes or fewer.

If at any event, you take more than 36 strokes, you will simply repeat that distance next time out until successful.

AIM 27

When AIM 36 over all six distances have been successfully completed, golfers may start again from 25m with a new AIM 27.

AIM 24

The final target for those golfers who have progressed from AIM 27.
