The weather on the day was perfect... I was assigned my own golf cart to make my way around the course which became extremely useful (and fun), enabling me to make sure all the players and sponsors were photographed.
I was invited to attend the full day of events which comprised of morning tea and bacon butties, followed by the game commencing at 1pm, ending with a sit down meal and charity auction.
