Golfers fund raising for breast cancer

Breast Cancer Research Golf Day

A very good attendance of 80 players supported our Breast Cancer Research Golf Day on Sunday. It again showed what a wonderful supportive town we live in. In excess of $7000 was raised for Breast Cancer research as 4 person teams, many wearing something pink, battled it out over 9 holes. Players soon forgot their near misses and “if only’s” out on the course with Lachie Smith and Ben Freeman  providing the necessary refreshments. It wasn’t about winning it was about enjoyment and it was in spades. Congratulations to our overall winners Firmen Allan with his daughters Ruby and Izzy and friend Jack Myers.

As teams finished the club house veranda started to fill to watch the “shoot out” of cousins Nick and Mitch up the 18th.  Attention then turned to Auctioneer Simon Koopman who again ensured Breast Cancer Research were the real winners on the day encouraging spirited bidding amongst the good crowd.  

President Will Sedgwick thanked the trophy and auction prize donors and in closing he thanked the large field of players for again supporting what is now our annual Breast Cancer charity 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 6th Oct.
