The amazing team at Nomads Golf Sunshine Coast has held its sixth annual charity golf event, in partnership with Lily House, an organisation caring for women in crisis.
Club captain Vincent Lombard said the 2 Ball Team Ambrose tournament, held on Friday 27 August 2021 at the Twin Waters Golf Club, Sunshine Coast, brought together club members, member partners, invited guests, local community and business to raise much needed funds for Lily House.
Lily House assists women and their young child in a range of crisis situations: women fleeing domestic violence, young pregnant mothers, women seeking reunification with their children and young women who have successfully come through drug or alcohol rehabilitation and need stability before transitioning back into the community.
“One hundred and twenty-eight players of all handicaps produced a wonderful spectacle, putting on show their best golf, great scores with lots of fun. Players were also able to enter a putting competition and buy Mulligans to raise some extra funds for this great cause,“ Lombard said.
“As well as a very successful and eventful game, the golf day included a presentation dinner, a raffle and fantastic auction with some great prizes up for grabs.
“This generous event has contributed $27,000 to help Lily House purchase a Kia Carnival Wagon 8 seater, supporting their much-needed transport needs.“
