Golf day repeats success in second edition

THE second annual FightMND Charity Golf Day did not disappoint, with a full field of players on Friday last week helping to raises thousands of dollars for the fight against motor neurone disease (MND).

Again led by Portarlington’s Team Monica Hayes – Geoff Fary, Darren Hellmann, Greg Hughes and Mick Doyle – the event at Portarlington Golf Day saw a Geelong Cats player featured as the special guest.

“The event went exceptionally well, it was very well-attended, and we had Mitch Duncan along as the special guest to talk all things footy and golf,” Mr Fary said.

“In total, we raised more than $4,000 towards FightMND, which we’re exceptionally proud of, and to do it in only the second year of this event for Team Monica Hayes is just a fantastic effort by all those who attended on the day.”

Following the four-person Ambrose golf portion of the day, event MC Max Becker hosted the lunch proceedings while interviewing Duncan.

More than 80 players attended Friday’s event, which the team was pleased with.

Up next for Team Monica Hayes is Daniher’s Drive, this year taking place across south-west Victoria from October 10 to October 13.
