It was a busy month for charity golf.
DUNEDIN
The 18th annual Aotearoa Gaming Trust Hospice Charity Golf Classic tournament took place on Friday 31 October at the St Clair Golf Course. Despite the strong wind and icy showers, and a number of trees down on the course from the wild winds a few weeks prior, a full 18 rounds were finally able to be played this year. 46K was raised for Hospice. Massive thanks to the staff and volunteers who were stationed out in the weather, Gully (organiser extraordinaire) from AGT and all the players and supporters on the day.
ALEX
The following two days saw the Central Otago Charity Golf Classic take place in Alexandra. Hospice was the nominated charity partner this year, and provided volunteers and a speaker. A donation of $5k was made from the event, for which we are very grateful.
UP NEXT
The final golf event of the year will be the Edinburgh Women's Golf Tournament being held at Otago Golf Club on Friday the 21st of November. This year's guest speaker will be Emma Gilmour, New Zealand rally driver and first ever female factory driver for McLaren Racing. There are still 4 team places left, so register soon and enjoy this fun day of golf, raffles and more. Only $300 per team of three https://otagohospice.co.nz/support-us/events/item/179
Dressing up is encouraged. And you can always blame your mask if you get a bad score!

The 5th annual Central Otago Dinner, sponsored by Pioneer Energy and held at The Packing Shed , raised an impressive $38,700 for Otago Community Hospice’s Central Otago service. This included a winning bid of $850 for a pound of butter!

The dinner has become a much anticipated staple in the Central Otago calendar. Attended by 120 people and supported by over 60 local businesses through gifted auction items, it sold out almost immediately this year.

Russell Garbutt, the creator and main volunteer behind the dinner, was inspired to give back after experiencing Otago Community Hospice first-hand through their care for his wife.

Thank you to everyone who supported this amazing event - see you again next year!
