A great day at Golf Breast cancer fundraiser

Golf Notes

A very good attendance of 75 players supported Sundays Breast Cancer Research Golf Day and again it showed what a wonderful supportive town we live in. In excess of $5000 was raised for Breast Cancer research as 4 person teams, many wearing something pink, battled it out over 9 holes. 

The winning team of Firmen and Finn Allan and Jesse and Brock Phillips carded a very good 2 under off the stick to finish just ahead of the team of Rob Sweeney, Katie Sweeney, Nat Philpott and Chris Sweeney. Third place on the day went to Dan Lott, Chris Darlington, Dylan Walker and Zac Mallise. 

NTPs went to David Kelly 12th, Jesse Phillips 16th and Charlie Hart 18th. 

The overall Bradman trophy of a packet of chips went to Sam Faint, John Hartley, Bill Simpson and Paul Grigg. I understand there will be a team debriefing at Wednesday golf. 

Players soon forgot their near misses and ‘if only’s’ out on the course with Lachie Smith and  Banjo Robinson providing the necessary refreshments. Auctioneer Simon Koopman again ensured Breast Cancer Research were the real winners on the day with spirited bidding amongst the good crowd.  Gary Allan kindly manned the BBQ after players had finished their round. President Will Sedgwick thanked the trophy and auction prize donors and in closing he thanked the large field of players for again supporting the afternoon. All in all, a wonderful day was had by everyone. Next Sunday we will play an Individual Stableford for the Vera Doyle Memorial Trophy. A gentle reminder also to be thinking about your twilight golf teams starting on Friday 7th Oct.
