The final of the 29th season of the Esmeraldas Charity Cup was played in September 2024 in dry weather at golf club Wylihof. The best gross score was achieved by the team Ian Ehrat (Hcp 3.5) and Michel Piunti (Hcp 10.9), scoring 34 gross points. A prize was also awarded to the best women’s team which were Marianne Blommers and Marie-Luce Greenaway.

The best net score 2024 reached Roberto Botta (Hcp 11.1) and Stefano Botta (Hcp 23.5). The team traveled all the way from Ticino to Solothurn to compete in the final and experience golf club Wylihof, known as a particularly challenging course. “We decided to play the 18 holes the day before the competition, which proved to be very useful,” they explained. Both believe that sports in general, and golf in particular, contribute to a strong bond between father and son.

As the winning team of the tournament, Roberto and Stefano Botta will travel to Colombia in spring 2025 as ambassadors of the Limmat Foundation. They will visit the education and school projects for street children, financed with the proceeds from the tournament series. Roberto Botta expressed his pride in being both an ambassador for the Limmat Foundation and a representative of the main sponsor of the Esmeralda Charity Cup, Bank J. Safra Sarasin. For him, the charity tournaments are an excellent example of the positive collaboration between charity and finance. “In the past, I have emphasized the importance of sharing common values. This is especially true when it comes to the role of education and promoting self-responsibility.”
