IDEAL conditions greeted players in the Independent’s 19th annual McKellar Centre Charity Golf Day at 13th Beach Golf Course.
With 88 golfers, the day raised $11,500 for the region’s peak rehabilitation and aged care facility.
Players competed over 18 holes in an Ambrose event to raise money for equipment to promote independence at home.
A Maxwell Collins Real Estate team won, with Metricon Homes second and NAB third.
Players gathered in 13th Beach clubhouse after play for awards and a two-course luncheon, with racing and golf evergreen Rob Gaylard as MC.
Independent managing editor Tony Galpin praised the event.
“It was a great day with lots of fun as well as some good – and not so good – golf,” he said.
“Everyone in the region will at some time need the services of the McKellar Centre, or know someone who does, so we all benefit from helping ensure it has the best possible equipment and facilities.”
