Memorial golf day invitation

Local golfers who are interested in a fun and relaxing day on the fairways are invited to enter the Butch Chadwick Memorial Tournament, which will be played at the Wellsford Golf Club on Sunday
November 5.

Held for the first time last year, the tournament is in memory of life member Chadwick who died in 2021. The tournament is run in a Canadian Greensomes format with seniors and juniors playing in pairs.

Money and donations raised on the day will be donated to Starship Hospital. Organiser Martin Worthington says the inaugural tournament last year was a great success.

“It attracted 70 players and was a fun day out for everyone,” he says.

The format has an adult/junior pair play through 10 holes competing for the cup. Worthington says there will also be a five hole division and a non-scoring division for anyone who just wants to come along and be part of the day.

Entry is just $30, and there will be raffles and up to $5000 in prizes.

The event is being sponsored by Barfoot & Thompson.
