Melbourne Market Golf Day Wrap
On Friday, 15 April the Melbourne Market Golf Day was held at Heidelberg Golf Club. The weather and the course were perfect for a great day of golf with over 130 Market users, sponsors and event partners attending.
The players were also joinedby AFL legends Brent Stanton, Michael Hurley and John Platten who were auctioned off for charity to play as part of a team.
While final figures are still being calculated, the golf day has raised over $55,000 for DEBRA Australia. An incredible outcome.
Congratulations to team ‘Jason’s Mob’ (pictured above) took out top spot on course.
