NSWROA Charity Golf Day

Tuesday, 21st February was a magnificent day weather-wise and also a fantastic day for Golf for the 108 players who assembled at the ‘Macquarie Links International Golf Course’ for the inaugural NSW Racehorse Owners Association Charity Golf Day. The event was conducted in association with the Cornucopia Committee which raises money for abused children.

Full credit must be given to the Golf Sub-Committee headed by Chris Keogh and Benedict Chan who together with Bullant Sports (the event co-ordinator) ensured that the day was professionally run. Thank you to all who attended and enjoyed, not only the golf but also the lunch and auction that followed. Thanks to your generous contributions, a substantial amount was raised for the Cornucopia Committee. Thank you also to Olivia Chan who volunteered her time to be our photographer for the day and also to Don Willesee from Central Communications who was instrumental in a lot of the organising for the event.

Many thanks also to all our sponsors and prize donors who helped make this day so successful.

The winners of the 4 Ball Ambrose Event were Darren Farnham, Richard Callander, Steve Sharp and Dean Wadsworth who won the NSWROA Trophy and the right to compete in the Charity Challenge Cup in November. Runners-up were Ken Thompson, N. Thompson, M. Conroy and D. Richmond. Other winners for Nearest the Pin were 5th – Ken Thompson, 8th – Justin Mansour, 11th – Alan Boyce, 15th – John Wilkinson - Drive & Pitch – John Linde - Longest Drive Men – Dave Dellar - Longest Drive Women – Louise Pimblett.

After the success of this years’ event, we are sure next year will be booked out so remember to mark the date in your diary for 2007 today!
