Fores For A Good Cause

Plaid pants and Hawaiian shirts were the outfits of choice at The Mackay Golf Club last Friday for the 7th Annual Key Solutions Group and M&P Services Charity Golf Day.

144 Players in 36 Teams partook in the event, all of varying golfing abilities.

Cloudy and breezy weather provided perfect conditions throughout the morning before the heavens opened up in the afternoon, with many keen teams braving the wet to finish the course.

The 18-hole course at the Mackay Golf Club consisted of novelty holes and different challenges including longest drive, accuracy drive, a hole-in-one challenge and the Happy Gilmore-inspired Gilmore Shooter Drive.

The event raised funds for five beneficiaries including Mackay Surf Club, Mackay Cutters – Change the Game, CQ RACQ Rescue, Ronald McDonald House Charities and Broken Ballerina Foundation, with good times and a quality day of golf a bonus.

Over $16,000 worth of raffle prizes were donated to the cause and over $35,000 had already been raised at the start of the day, with more to be tallied this week.

The success of the event was thanks to the many sponsors that supported the day including Key Solutions Group, Penske, GB Industries, DGH Engineering, Rimex, Roy Powell Security and MM Electrical.
