Golfers tee off to support Hawks

MORE than 90 golfers teed off this week to raise funds for the Drysdale Football Club at its Annual Golf Day.

The event at Portarlington Golf Club attracted golfers of all abilities, from keen competition players to

first timers.

Players had the opportunity to tee off with former Carlton Blues speedster Dennis Armfield, who was the special guest speaker on the day.

Event organiser Greg Scott said the 14th edition of the golf day was one of its most successful yet.

“It was another great day which was well attended and supported by businesspeople and our sponsors.

“The course was in fantastic condition for play and we saw some great players and certainly some poor players!

“Dennis (Armfield) was a fantastic guest to hear from. His story on his football journey and his work with service organisation Odyssey House was truly inspiring.

“He was probably the best speaker we’ve had over our 14-year history.”

Mr Scott said the funds to go back into the club were still being calculated but were estimated it to be in the $5,000 to $6,000 range.

The cash injection will go towards general club revenue and equipment and jumpers across both the junior and senior programs.
