CHARITY GOLF DAY

http://www.888dag.com/ Once again on a Thursday played golf at our club. This Thursday was special as it was charity day. We get to invite friends to play with us and we all dressed in pink as the charity was for breast cancer. We had about 165 ladies playing and had a wonderful lunch afterwards.
There were heaps of raffles and wonderful prizes to be won, five weekends away to various golf resorts, and so many of the members donated prizes for the raffles. (five sets of raffles ). In eash raffle there were about 15 prizes.
It was a tremendous day although our team didnt win anything except a ball. Took heaps of raffle tickets and didnt win anything there either, but a wonderful day was had by all , weather was also beautiful and sunny. We raised about $6 5000 of which a portion will go to Prostate cancer research. Not bad for a small club.
The drive held in Canada the other night apparently raised 100 million dollars with some very big donors contributing, so ours seems like a drop in the ocean, but I know every little bit helps.
