Teeing off for a good cause It was a crisp start to the day, but that didn’t deter the 70 odd golfers who teed off at Victoria Golf Club on 3rd May in the annual Windermere Classic. Their commitment paid off as the morning wore on and the sun peeked through the clouds to reveal a lush course in prime condition. The day was a huge success, with activities to test even the best handicap, followed by a delicious lunch and auction at the Club House to top off the day. Congratulations go to Chris Canavan who took the Perpetual Trophy for a second time, along with teammates Simon Riordan, Tony Trumble and Geoff Sowden. As well as a great day out, this year’s Classic raised over $34,000 to support children and families dealing with violence. Everyone dug deep and helped us raise enough funds to provide 12 families with much needed support services, such as counselling and housing, to keep them safe.
