These events are a win-win.
The organisation involved gets the opportunity to raise valuable funds, and the golf club facilities get used and revenue is generated in the clubhouse.
One of the most worthwhile annual causes is the MND Charity Day, raising funds to support research into Motor Neuron Disease.
The 2024 Big Freeze 10 golf event at the club will be on Sunday, June 2, and it promises to be another outstanding day.
As usual, it will be four-person ambrose, with men’s, women’s and mixed teams permitted.
Cost will be $200 per team ($50 per player) which includes a MND beanie, barbecue lunch and snacks after golf, and entry into a mystery draw.
Other activities will include raffles, silent auction, novelty and big holes, and a putt-off after golf.
So get your team together for a great day of golf while supporting such a great cause. Enter on the booking sheet in the pro shop, or phone 5881 3333.
