GOLF DAY

CIC LIMITED / COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL LORD’S TAVERNERS GOLF DAY 2010

Following the highly successful event in 2009 (described below) the 2010 Golf Day will be held at RCGC on Monday 1st March. We have high expectations that, thanks to the organisational efforts of Committee member Andrew Ostroumoff and the support once again of CIC Ltd. & Colliers International, the success of last year will be matched (and probably exceeded).

 

The Lord’s Taverners, CIC Australia - Colliers International 2010 Charity Golf Day

 

This year we continue to enjoy the support of our major sponsors CIC Australia and Colliers International.  Their willingness to support Lord’s Taverners, ACT makes this event possible and we would like to acknowledge their contribution in advance of the event.  The golf day will also benefit from the attendance of cricket legend Sir Richard Hadlee and, once again, a number of professional golfers who have donated their time thereby making possible this event’s unique format.  Several Canberra companies have  already purchased a professional to play as part of their team whilst others will still benefit from their participation on the day and their demonstrations of golfing excellence.

CIC LIMITED / COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL LORD’S TAVERNERS GOLF DAY 2009

On a beautiful sunny Monday in February, we held our annual charity Golf Day at Royal Canberra Golf Club. The format varied from past years and focused on attracting corporate donors to participate with several local and international touring golf professionals in a fun team environment. The Lord’s Taverners were supported by ten professional golfers including:


 

Golf professionals Brendan Jones, Steve Whitelock and Patrick Maher were major drawcards at the 2009 Golf Day.

  

Brendan Jones shows why he is ranked 62 in the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brendan Jones - 62 in the world rankings
Nikki Campbell - a touring professional and winner on the Ladies Professional Golf Association circuit
Damon Welsford - the Australian Trainee Player of the year


Nikki Campbell arrived fresh having completed the final round of the Australian Open LPGA event the day before and Brendan Jones left immediately after our charity event to play head to head against Tiger Woods in the first round of the World Match Play Championships.


Our major sponsors were Canberra Investment Corporation and Colliers International. Several Canberra companies sponsored the event by purchasing professionals with whom to play on the day. The Fosters Group also supported the event with excellent wines to complement the wonderful food provided by Royal Canberra Golf Club.


The winning team comprised local identities Rob Service, Dennis Nihill, Michael Kumm and Mac Howell. The winning individual was young aspiring professional Allan Haughie who shot a very impressive 67 off the stick.


Before the golfers teed off, participants and sponsors were addressed by several of the beneficiaries of Taverners’ fundraising. ACT Cricket CEO Mark Vergano outlined aspects of the excellent and supportive relationship between Lord’s Taverners ACT Branch and ACT Cricket which he said was ACT Cricket’s most significant partnership in assisting charitable and community activities.

Nick Haydardedeoglu from ACT Blind Cricket spoke of the valuable and vital support Lord’s Taverners had provided to the ACT Blind Cricket team over a number of years which had enabled it to participate in National Competition and for some of the team members to gain selection in the Australian team. Adam Cunningham, a Lord’s Taverners 2009 Scholarship winner, in his first public speaking experience, most articulately informed those present of how his Scholarship funding helped him pursue his athletic ambitions.
