In summary, the Caritas Fiji Golf Tournament served as a platform for camaraderie and charity, where players united not just for competition but to support vital initiatives for the less fortunate in their communities. Hopefully, similar events will continue to inspire generosity and foster community spirit in Fiji and beyond.
