Can-assist Charity Golf Day Success

Last Saturday, a field of 84 Forbes and vis­iting golfers turned out for the Annual CanAssist Charity Golf Day. The sun shone but could not compete with the sparkle of the play on the course.

Can-Assist Forbes President John Schraeder thanked all the participants and especially the sponsors for making this another successful day. He presented the prizes amidst much jocular banter which was a common theme throughout the day.

The Scratch Winners, on count back, were the group of L Hurford, C Hurford, D Fairley and J Geppart who finished on 61 Scratch. They stormed home with seven birdies.

The Handicap Winners, also on count back, were Alister Carlisle, J Cole, R Dunn and S Hayes who managed 58.37 nett.

They scored under par on each half and used a very handy handicap.

Other prizes were presented down to Handicap 5th along with a ‘Bradman’ prize.

NTP’s for both Men and Ladies were played on all four par-3’s as well as the ‘2nd shot on 12th’.Can-Assist Forbes would like to thank the following business houses and people for their support of the day: Pat Duncan, Wendy Simmons, Flannery’s Pharmacy, Hair with style, Farm House, Central West Lighting, Jelbarts Tyrepower, Isabel’s Place, Cahills Footwear & Euphoria Road, Jessica’s Essential Beauty, Vandenburg Hotel, News on Rankin, Little Extras, Sylo, Abundance (Ann Simmons), Forbes Bake­house and Flint St Butchery.
