The sun shone all day for this sell-out event held on Friday 24th September with 22 teams taking to the fairways for a shotgun start, raising over £7,500 for adults and children affected by domestic abuse.
There was a full programme for the day beginning with coffee and bacon rolls in the Lighthouse Brasserie, sponsored by Wahl (UK) Limited, followed by 18 holes on North Foreland’s beautiful main course. In the evening, guests were treated to a 2-course meal which was followed by an entertaining charity auction expertly run by Former Chairman Keith Rumblo.
Taking first place in the charity tournament was Tracey Myer’s team with a score of 89 points with the Team captained by Kirk Wager coming very close behind in 2nd with 88 points. Stephen Murphy hit Nearest the Pin on the 7th hole and Richard Gardner was Nearest the Line on the 10th. All winners received golfing prizes generously arranged by club professional Darren Parris and sponsored by Lanes Printers of Broadstairs.
The event was well-supported by local businesses 17 of which sponsored tees on the course.
Principle Supporter, The Rotary Club of Thanet, were delighted once again to support the Oasis Golf Day. Rotary member Neal Elliott reinforced their commitment to the charity.
“Over the last 8 years The Rotary Club of Thanet have donated in excess of £40,000 to Oasis and are fully aware of the effort and commitment that the employees, support staff and volunteers put in to all the activities and needs of the women, men and children who are in desperate need of their professional services. With yet another sell-out tournament, the success of the golf day is guaranteed, and requests for entrance to next year’s event are already flooding in. Congratulations to the committee on another superbly organised event.”
Oasis Fundraising Manager, Loukia Michael, said, 'We are so pleased with the success of our annual golf day and we owe our gratitude to the local golfing and business communities as well as to North Foreland Golf Club for their hospitality. The past 18 months have been very difficult for those affected by domestic abuse and the funds raised by this event have never been more needed’
