It’s all part of the seventh annual Mornington Peninsula Home Hospice (PHH) three-day golf event at YMGCR from May 31 to June 3 raising money for Palliative Care.
“We have raised $110,000 over the years and this year we have full fields - 100 players for Monday, 100 for Tuesday and 120 for Wednesday before our dinner with an expected 150,” event organiser Pat Randall told the Yarrawonga Chronicle.
“There will be a wide range of sporting memorabilia – the best you’ll ever see – and anyone can bid for whatever in the golf club foyer.”
Pat herself has a remarkable sporting background, teaming up with tennis legend Neal Fraser to win an Australian Mixed Open, making the singles quarter finals in an Australian Open and undefeated three-time NSW squash champion. Her lowest handicap in golf was 10.
“Kevin Sheedy will be our guest speaker on the Wednesday night and joining him will be Michael Tuck and Bob Murray – what a line-up!” she said.
Some line-up alright! Wangaratta resident Murray is a regular player at Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Club Resort. Regarded as the best full-back in Australian in the late 1960s, the 153-gamer with St Kilda represented Victorian eight times.
“It’s a wonderful range of sporting memorabilia,” he said. “Everyone has the chance to snap up some brilliant shots of their club players.”
Established on the Mornington Peninsula in 1984, PHH is an accredited not-for-profit community palliative care organisation based in Frankston.
Apart from our golf club resort foyer bidding in respect of the sporting memorabilia, other packages are auctioneered off by local golfer, board director and businessman Andrew Shell at Wednesday night’s dinner. Anything over the reserve price goes to the Yarrawonga hospital through Helping Hands.
