Queenstown 24 Hour Golf Challenge

One last thank you as well to all the Queenstown Media who covered this event too. Without you we couldn’t get the reach that we did. Those close to me knows that I reached out to some well known national radio broadcast personalities that apparently are big mental health advocates only to be shut down at every turn, so I thank each and every one of the Queenstown Media family.

Well we had an objective of raising 5k for Mates, we surpassed this today including the cash donations & Hole in One entries. Simon was the winner of the Hole in one - Congrats & we’ll get in touch to get the goodies to you!
Thanks to an amazing community that came down to support us. Thanks so much everybody, I’m off for a nap😂

Whoop! A Hole in One dropped before 1pm which means there’s still a chance to split the prize pool with one other lucky hitter! If not Simon gets the lot yeeeehaaaa!

Even the shyest of hitters has had a good time and we have some balls, Alpine Aqualand, Gym and golf bucket Vouchers to give away thanks to QLDC

12 hours down, half way - bodies are sore! Push on to the hole in one comp today. See you down here!

Great turn out for the first 6 hours of hitting golf balls! Big night ahead!

So tomorrow is the day! Thanks so much to all that have donated as well as these amazing businesses that have donated some great prizes for Friday’s hole in 1 competition. Hope to see you down at Frankton Driving Range from 4pm tomorrow.

With just over a week to go we are looking for businesses to sponsor the hole in one competition. If the hole in one doesn’t fall, anyone who entered will go in the draw to win random prizes. Looking forward to the big day!
