Teeing off for charity

ST LEONARDS Golf Club is organising a golf day on Monday, January 27 with all proceeds going to the Bendigo Bank bushfire appeal.

Club president Jack Muscat said the club received a fantastic response from local businesses, members and non-members happy to get involved.

“It will be held on January 27 with a two person Ambrose and a shotgun start at 9am. Players need to register at 8.30am with the cost $20 per player,” Mr Muscat said.

“Afterwards we will be putting on a barbecue lunch and auctioning and raffling off a variety of prizes that have kindly been donated from local business and across the Bellarine.”

Mr Muscat said he reached out to the committee after witnessing the devastation caused from the fires and wanted to help those affected.

“We’re hoping to raise as much money as we can. I encourage both golfers and non-golfers to come along, support this appeal while having a fun day on the golf course,” he said.

“The event continues a long tradition of the club supporting the community, most notable our Good Friday Appeal for the Royal Children’s Hospital.”
