Charity Golf Day a hole-in-one
Surpassing last year’s impressive total, Pursehouse Rural’s second annual charity golf day at Clifton Golf Club is set to raise about $12,000 for Clifton Community Health Services (CCHS).
Farmers and golfing enthusiasts took to the Clifton Golf Course last Thursday, 17th July, for the second annual Pursehouse Rural Clifton Charity Golf Day.
A total of 75 players came together to enjoy a day out on the golf course and raise funds for CCHS.
Organised by local agribusiness, Pursehouse Rural, the Farmer’s Charity Golf Day proved a resounding success, drawing together players from across the district.
The day was helped by unseasonably warm weather last Thursday which kept the drinks cart busy on course and the players happy.
Players enjoyed a social round of golf in the two-player ambrose competition and a free barbecue lunch provided by Mort & Co. Fertilisers.
The day wrapped up in the club house with a prize giving presentation, raffle and auctioneering of a stock whip gifted to the event by Tim Logan.
The winning team, with a score of 59.5, was Tim Johnson and Craig Foreman, very closely followed by runners up Angus Sommes and Brad Jamieson with a score of 59.75.
Third place was taken by Maurice Monkton and Will Duff with a score of 60.5, followed by Sue and Bill Murdoch in fourth place with a score of 61.25.
The longest drive was awarded to Darren Hedges and nearest to pin was awarded to Jason Wienert.
All in all, a fantastic day which would not have been possible without the support of sponsors from across the Clifton community and the agricultural sector.
Pursehouse Rural Clifton said they would like to express their thanks to the wide range of sponsors who helped make the day a success
In 2024, the inaugural competition raised close to $10,000 for CCHS.
Pursehouse Rural and the Clifton Golf Club were also awarded the Clifton Community Event Award presented on Australia Day 2025.
An early count of donations and fundraising shows this year’s total will top last year’s efforts, coming in around $12,000.
Preparations have already begun for next year’s event.
For those who missed out this year, be sure to mark your calendar for next year’s Farmer’s Charity Golf Day set to take place on Thursday, 16th July 2026.
