Time to tee off for a great cause and awesome prizes

Grab your golf clubs and head down to the Stratford Golf Club.

Stratford Community Childcare Centre has organised a fundraiser golf tournament to raise funds for the centre’s outside area refurbishment project, says fundraising committee member Kris Jiggins.

“We have received a grant which has helped us to fund part of the refurbishment but we still have a long way to go. At the moment we’ve dug up the bark and laid down a turf.

‘‘Our plan is to work on the undertwos area and add water tanks for the garden. We have so many ideas to make this space better for our tamariki.”

The golf tournament will be an Ambrose competition.

“People can register as an individual for $55 or as a team of four for $200. The cost covers the green fee but also for the barbecue lunch after the event.”

She says with plenty of prizes up for grabs, this is an event not to be missed.

“We have a $500 hole-in-one prize set at a specific hole, longest drive and winning team prizes.

‘‘We also have other goodies, a raffle, and spot prizes.”

While people can register on the day, Kris encourages people to get in early, so teams and catering numbers can be sorted. The event wouldn’t be possible without local sponsors. “We’re so thankful to everyone who has supported us.”
