It was a busy month for charity golf with some big bucks raised.

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. With rain and snow having stopped play the previous two years, this was definitely seen as a win and spirits remained high.

Massive thanks to the staff and volunteers who were stationed out in the weather. The auction was also well supported, with a total of $46k raised overall! Our thanks to Gully from AGT and all the players and supporters on the day.
