Spring is the time when charity golf days get into full swing at the Lismore Golf Club.

This time next week, the inaugural D and D Electrical WRHS (Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service) will get underway with a four-person ambrose. Then, a week later, the annual Our Kids Charity Golf Day tees off in another four-person ambrose with a midday shotgun start.

While the Our Kids Golf Day has been running for 20 years, the Lismore Ladies Charity Golf Day will be the first of what the Ladies Committee hope will be many more.

"The notion to have a day with a difference at Lismore has been bandied around for a number of years," WHRS rep John Bancroft said, "And a few key happenings brought the event to the fore in 2024. The signing of a major sponsor in D and D Electrical, the efforts of local golf enthusiast Di Cahill to move things forward and some help from the Club has meant it's all happening on October 11."

"The event is a four-person ambrose (each player hits, then the team all hit from the best shot) and is open to lady golfers of any ability; at this point in time, 17 teams have nominated from Lismore, Ballina, Casino, Byron and beyond, with a few more spots still up for grabs."

"I urge all ladies to 'come and give it a go' if you're interested; it will be a fun day with an early 8-30am tee off with coffee and lunch provided.”

Spokesperson Di Cahill said, “We are overwhelmed by the support from Lismore and Regional businesses and our players who have embraced the opportunity to have a bit of fun and raise funds for the life-saving Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service."
