GOLFERS flocked to support the annual John Piercy Memorial golf day at Tewantin Noosa golf club last week, with Mother Nature turning on the perfect weather for a round of golf.
All in the name of charity, the golf day has been marked a huge success once again with over $25,000 raised for local kids in need.
The memorial golf day on 19 September saw almost 40 teams take to the green in support of local kids and a number of local businesses chipped in with raffle prizes and donations.
Event organiser Glenn “Puck” Puckeridge said the day was perfect, with great weather only helping to make the day a success.
The event, now in its eighth year, has raised more than $240,000 for local charities and children in need which is donated to organisations and charities through Smile For A Child.
This year, five lots of $5000 will be donated to local organisations who have asked for help in providing services to sick children and the community.
Smile For A Child is the initiative of six clubs in the Noosa area; Sunshine Beach SLSC, Noosa Heads Surf Club, Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, Tewantin Noosa RSL, Tewantin Noosa Golf Club and Cooroy RSL in partnership with Clubs QLD.
