Our annual OMRF Golf Tournament at St Clair Golf Course on Friday was a fantastic day of golf, fun and fundraising in support of medical research in Otago.
The wind certainly made things interesting at times, but thankfully the weather was kind for most of the day. Most importantly, we were delighted to see so many teams come along and support the Otago Medical Research Foundation.
The generosity shown throughout the day was particularly appreciated, with players getting behind our raffle, auction and on-course fundraising challenges, including Beat the Dice and Pro on a Hole.
There was also plenty of excitement on the 16th hole, with the opportunity to win a Mitsubishi ASX for a hole-in-one, generously provided by Andrew Simms Dunedin. While no one managed to drive away in the car this year, the prize certainly added some extra pressure to the tee shot!
Special mention to our Major Sponsor, Challenge Marketing, for their ongoing support.
We’re also incredibly grateful to St Clair Golf Club, Andrew Simms Dunedin, Jason Hynes for running the auction, our volunteers (including the Green Island Lions Club, Gallagher Insurance staff and Jane Bradshaw who volunteered all day), and everyone else who helped make the day such a success. See details of all our sponsors and teams below.
