GOLF NEWS - The George Golf Club was abuzz with excitement and goodwill as the inaugural NSRI Wilderness Golf Day took place on Sunday 10 March.
Golf enthusiasts, sponsors and supporters gathered for a day of camaraderie and charity, all in support of the vital work carried out by NSRI Station 23 Wilderness.
Funds raised during the event will play a crucial role in sustaining NSRI's high-standard rescue services.
Operating from the main rescue base in Wilderness, along with satellite stations in Herold's Bay and Myoli Beach in Sedgefield, the dedicated crew of volunteers have become an integral part of the local emergency response network.
NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon expressed his gratitude to the local community, participants, sponsors and donors who made the day possible.
"The inaugural NSRI Wilderness Golf Day was a resounding success that went off tremendously well. Playing at George Golf Club, which is in impeccable condition, the club really came through for us.
"A generous amount of money was raised, which is going to resources and equipment for the NSRI Wilderness. The enthusiasm of everyone was heartwarming. We thoroughly enjoyed it and we are pretty confident that this will become an annual event," said Lambinon.
NSRI volunteers invest countless hours in training, equipment maintenance, and community outreach initiatives aimed at promoting water safety and preventing drownings.
By supporting events like the golf day, individuals have the opportunity to make a tangible difference in their community, ensuring that NSRI volunteers can continue their lifesaving mission with the necessary resources and support.
