Our golf day, held on the 12th July, 2019 was the perfect Winter’s day in Brisbane.
Not only was the weather perfect, the turnout, the way the game was played, the people, and the results were next level!
Before we do the drumroll on the final figure, there are so many people we would like to thank, because without them, the day would not have been in anyway the success that it was.
