We have an amazing sponsorship opportunity to have your business and message printed onto our scorecards. There is a minimum of 1600 cards printed out each month, and we wanted to give this opportunity to our members first, before we go out to other sponsors. Remember, sponsorships can also include membership or other benefits. If you are interested – email, or shoulder tap, Emily Loughnan emily@clicksuite.co.nz
Following on from a successful re-invigoration of Junior Golf, we are working with Kiwi Golf (who run the golf intro lessons in schools) to raise funds to help both us and Kiwi Golf do even more for Juniors. Get a team together for an epic end of year fun day on Friday 12 December – best three scores each hole will count. Bring your wallets too – it’s a fundraiser and there will be plenty of opportunities to lighten your wallet.
Coming up:
