Long day of golf nets more than $4K
Forty players raised a total of $4,276 for the Cancer Council as Woodford Golf Club took part in the annual ‘The Longest Day’ event on Monday last week.
Visitors from the Brisbane and Sunshine Coast regions had a hit of golf along with various Woodford members, as there were two to four players per group.
No scores were recorded as some of the golfers played 36 holes while the majority played 72 holes.
The golf course lights were on at 4.30am when the ‘Beerwah Burglers’ quartet teed off, after they had also taken part last year when the Woodford Golf Club was involved in the nationwide initiative for the first time.
One of the Woodford golfers, Mitch Butler, said the event had extra significance for him after his mum died from cancer only about a month beforehand, after his dad and uncle had previously died from cancer as well.
