The Charity Golf Day
The Charity Golf Day has become a popular annual social event and fund raiser organised by the Rotary Club of Forster on Wallis Club.
The Objective
The objective of the Golf Day is to assist a selected local non-profit organisation or community project with their fund raising efforts. For example, all the proceeds from the 2009 event will go to the local branch of the NSW Rural Fire Service.
When and Where?
The event is held in spring of each year at Tuncurry Golf Course, usually on a Sunday morning in October or November. The next event is scheduled for ~
Tuncurry Golf Course
Sunday November 1 2009
The Format
The competition is an Ambrose for teams of four with handicaps determined using the Callaway Scoring System. The Callaway System is an "on the day" handicapping system that is often used in events where some competitors do not have a recognised or official golf club handicap.
The maximum number of teams is set at 25, with a "shotgun" start.
There are numerous prizes in all the usual categories and the emphasis is on having a good time. Food and drinks are supplied at "aid stations" located at strategic points around the course. You can also get a very nice steak sandwich at the end, all included in the entry fee.
