The local organisation will host its annual charity golf day at the Muswellbrook Golf Club on Sunday, July 31.

And, with major sponsor LJ Hooker Muswellbrook on board, the four-person ambrose is sure to be another hit, especially with prizes valued at $4000 up for grabs.

“The charity golf day has been on the community calendar for more than a decade, but we’ve been its main supporter for the past four or five years,” LJ Hooker Muswellbrook licensee, and Muswellbrook Rotary Club immediate past president, Phil Lawler said.

“Cystic fibrosis (CF) is LJ Hooker’s charity of choice – and the money raised will go towards research into the chronic illness.

“CF primarily affects the lungs and digestive system because of a malfunction in the exocrine system, responsible for producing saliva, sweat, tears and mucus.

“In Australia, one in 2500 babies are born with CF, that’s one every four days.

“So, it’s important we find a cure for it.

“Over the past five years, in excess of $30,000 has been raised at the golf day.

“I’m thrilled that 20 local businesses have come on board to support the event in 2016, too.

“The golf day is one of the Muswellbrook Rotary Club’s principal fundraisers, along with the Rotary Ball and charity auction.” 

Mr Lawler promised an enjoyable day for all participants.

“Usually, we have anywhere between 100 and 120 starters – it’s a comfortable field (with a 9am start for 10am tee off),” he said.

“But, there’s plenty of room to build on.

“A cost of $40 per person includes the Rotary barbecue lunch and drinks at the half-way house.

“Everyone is welcome to register a four-person ambrose team or book individually to join a team on the day.

“A raffle draw and the presentation of prizes will take place in the clubhouse straight after the golf.

“We’re keen to see as many people involved as possible.”
