Men of League to tee off

TWEED Men of League Foundation is holding its annual golf day at Coolangatta Tweed Heads Golf Club on Friday, April 27 and positions for the 4-ball Ambrose are moving nearly as fast as Ken Irvine could scoot.

And little wonder! For $120 you get 18 holes of golf, chug around the course in a buggy, BBQ breakfast, lunch, playing shirt and a couple of thirst quenchers ($100 if providing own buggy).

Tweed MoL secretary, Tom Cassin, says bookings for the gala event will be taken in order of booking and payment.

"We've had a waiting list for the day for the past two years and we reckon this is the fairest way to go - first in, best dressed," Tom said.

Closing date for entries is Monday, April 2 - when entering make certain you let the organisers know your shirt size after all you don't want to be an Artie Beetson-type struggling to get into an Alfie Langer-sized shirt!

Tom reports there are still a couple of hole sponsorships up for grabs at $850.

"As well as getting signage on a hole and rounds for four people, sponsors receive the same benefits as the other players plus four Men of League caps and a dozen golf balls," he said.

There will be great prizes for nearest-to-the-pin, straightest drive, longest drive and no doubt there'll also be plenty of starters to determine who is the biggest burglar.

Book your berth at the golf day by contacting Tom Cassin at tweedmol@gmail.com or give him a ring on 0407 457 661.
