Kiwanis International - Kiwanis Club of Drury

The 2001 Charity Golf Tournament for Hospice

The annual Hospice Charity Golf Tournament held at the Manukau Golf Club on 28 October, 2001 was another great success and 150 intrepid golfers braved the rain and took to the course with enthusiasm.

 

Some of the donated prizes and raffles.

The event was organized for the fifth consecutive year by the Kiwanis Club of Drury in conjunction with the Manukau Golf Club and South Auckland Hospice and the success of the day was a direct result of the months of planning by tournament organizer, Drury club member Gay McNamara assisted by Evelyn Neal and Lorraine Hyland.

Club members turned out in force to assist with the day, cook sausages at the half way point and to sell raffle tickets. The Kiwanis Club of Drury is indebted to the Manukau Golf Club for making the course available, and for the invaluable help on the day, to the many local businesses, organizations and individuals who generously donated thousands of dollars worth of sponsorships and prizes and to the golfers who turned out on the day to not only play but to so readily put their hands in their pockets for the raffles and auction to support such a worthy cause. The more valuable items donated were auctioned and Philip Bensemann proved to be an accomplished and humorous auctioneer for this part of the proceedings.
