Fun in the sun for a good cause

Traditional kick off: The event started with a bagpiper playing God Save the Queen and the Australian National Anthem. Great day out: Participants enjoyed the gorgeous weather and beautiful backdrop of Brookwater.

The generosity and camaraderie of the Brisbane Markets was on show recently when members of the markets community took to the golf course for a day of fun and fundraising. The annual Brisbane Produce Market Charity Golf Day, sponsored by Brisbane Markets Limited and Brismark, was held on Friday, 16 September. After a few quiet years, the 2022 event saw an increase in participants, with 36 teams featuring 144 players taking to the course at Brookwater Golf & Country Club for the fourperson ambrose. The event first started in 2014, and since then has raised over $100,000 for charity, with this year’s beneficiary, Diabetes Australia, receiving over $18,000. Event organiser, Phil Thomas said the golf day was a great way to catch up and socialise away from the hustle and bustle of the Brisbane Produce Market Selling Floor. “The event is great for everyone involved. It gives the markets community the chance to socialise in a more relaxed environment while supporting a really good cause: it’s a win win at every level,” Mr Thomas said. “Participants were able to enjoy some sun, a game of golf and a bit of exercise. We’d like to thank everyone who got involved and showed their support for Diabetes Australia. “Demand was strong this year with the event filling up quickly, so make sure to get in early next year if you want to put together a team.”

Worthy winners: Danny Kaddour, Steven Kaddour and George Vourdousis. Not pictured: Ryan Lavender.
