Another successful Charity Golf Day was held at the Maleny Club on Friday 19th May, raising funds for the local hospital. Event coordinator, Jan Cornfoot, said more than 100 players from as far away as Noosa Heads, Toowoomba and Brisbane took part on a beautiful autumn day. There was relief all round with the favourable weather, as torrential rain caused the postponement of last year’s event.
The event has proved very popular with players and sponsors, with places for both filled six weeks in advance. The business community has also been very supportive, said Ms Cornfoot, assisting us with players’ teams, sponsorship, prizes and products to enable us to have minimal expenses in this major fund-raising event.
In the last year, a slit machine (for ophthalmology use) and another cardiac monitor were purchased through the Auxiliary, and work has currently started to improve the appearance of the front gardens with small retaining walls.
Dr Matt Caffery thanked the organisers and the Golf Club on behalf of the Hospital.
