The festivities started with a light breakfast at The Sands before 18 holes of golf.

Players did their best to score a hole in one on the 17th hole with a new Mitsubishi Outlander up for grabs courtesy of Kings Cars Mitsubishi Waurn Ponds.

A luncheon was held in the inside bar area following gameplay, with K rock Football commentator Tom King taking on hosting duties.

“Thanks to our par sponsors, Carpet House, Kings Cars, Maven Insurance, Torquay Hotel, GGC Industries and WKE Geelong, and our Master Sponsor JK Powell Constructions,” he said.

“We were fortunate to have great support and donations from many local business’ that helped us achieve a great day through raffles and auctions, with over $11,000 raised towards our new electronic scoreboard at Summertime Pools Oval.
