New tournament in memory of Matt

Warkworth Golf Club will be the venue for a new charity day being organised in memory of murdered police officer Matt Hunt next month. 

The Matt Hunt Memorial Golf Tournament will be a three-ball Ambrose event on Sunday, March 13, with of prizes worth more than $6500. 

Organiser Michael Campbell says Warkworth was chosen for the new tournament as Matt had played at the club and it was close to where his mum Diane lives.

“Golf was a game that Matt loved and the golf course was a place he would connect on weekends with friends and family,” he said. “This is a chance for friends, family, police and the community to come together and share a day of laughter and happiness as we remember Matt.”

Funds raised from fees and donations will go to Pilgrim Bandits, a charity that works with injured military and emergency service people to help them heal and overcome challenges, and which has named one of its programmes after Matt Hunt. 

Entries are now closed for the tournament, but donations can be made at www.matthuntmemorial.com
