Golf for Legacy
Canberra raises $1,350 for charity

GOLF

A golf day recently held at Canberra’s Gungahlin Lakes raised $1,350 for Canberra Legacy.

VCDF and ADF Golf Association President VADM Russ Shalders said that the ADFGA was pleased to assist Legacy by programming the golf day on the annual ACT golf calendar.

The 2003 event was the most successful since the event’s inauguration in 2000. It was made much easier by the level of support provided by Gungahlin Lakes itself.

ADFGA Treasurer (and Gungahlin Lakes Club Captain) WGCDR Trevor Owens added that Gungahlin Lakes is always keen to support charity events. “Given the number of Defence personnel who are Gungahlin Lakes members, it is very important to ensure that the Club plays its part in supporting such worthy causes within the community”.

GPCAPT Cottrell acknowledged the ADFGA’s efforts and confirmed that the recent Canberra Legacy Appeal would go very close to realising the appeal’s budget.
