Golfers leave a Legacy

VCDF (and ADFGA president) Vice Admiral Russ Shalders presents the proceeds cheque to president of Canberra Legacy Group Captain Mac Cottrell.

A GOLF day held recently at Canberra’s Gungahlin Lakes raised $1350 for Canberra Legacy.

Vice Chief of Defence Force and ADF Golf Association president Vice Admiral Russ Shalders said that the ADFGA is 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 and this was made much easier by the level of support provided by Gungahlin Lakes itself.

ADFGA treasurer (and Gungahlin Lakes Club Captain) Wing Commander 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,” WGCDR Owens said.

President of Canberra Legacy Group Captain Mac Cottrell acknowledged the ADFGA’s efforts and confirmed that the recent Canberra Legacy Appeal would go very close to realising the appeal’s budget.
