The Otago Hospice Fundraising Golf Tournament was
held on the course on Friday 31st Ocotber. 44 Teams of
four teed off in what is believed to be the largest shotgun
start tournament that can be remembered.
It was a wonderful fundraising exercise for the Hospice
and $30,000 was raised via fees, raffles and an Auction on
the night. Phillipa and Geoff worked the upstairs bar and
Geoff believes takings of $4,300 was a record. For one
day at the bar.
