Industry gets behind annual Longreach Golf Day in support of the Perron Institute

Industry golf pro’s and “not so” golf pro’s were out in force last Monday in support of the annual Longreach Golf Day in support of the Perron Institute.

The afternoon and format makes this event one for golfers of all levels, and with the chance to tee off for the $250,000 hole-in-one shoot out on Sunday as one of the prizes on the day, usual agency and inter-media rivalry was put aside with the eye on the prize!

Winners are grinners and the top prize this year was taken out by Team Nova, closely followed by Media Tonic and ARN with the team from SWM only just behind in 4th spot.

Longreach’s John Driscoll said: “We are overwhelmed and very grateful for the support of this event and we are so pleased that all money raised goes to the Perron Institute in support of their ongoing neurological research programs.”

The Golf day is part of a six week fund raising event coordinated by Longreach for the Perron Institute. “We would not be where we are today without Longreach’s support” said Jim Murphy from the Perron Institute “and we are delighted that this year’s Hole in One series of events has generated over $150,000 which will be earmarked to go towards research on childhood psoriasis, a common and chronic skin disease.”
