2019 Newington Golf Day

On Thursday 7 March 2019 the Annual Newington Golf Day was held at Concord Golf Club with the greater Newington community represented by Old Boys, Parents, Staff, Sponsor’s and friends attending. Each year this event is held to raise funds for the ONU Mental Health fund and ONU Tongan Bursary.

The Golf Committee of Ian Mayer (ON 1981), David Gillard (ON 1992) and Nigel Watson (ON 1993), supported by the Office of Community and Development, organised a day of golfing tips, putting competitions and the ever-popular Hole in One competition on the 4th hole to win a Toyota Corolla courtesy of our major sponsor Chatswood Toyota. 2019 did not see a winner of this most generous prize, but we came close.

Thank you to our Sponsors: Chatswood Toyota (Ian Mayer ON 1981), Gillard Golf (David Gillard ON 1992), and Turks Legal (David McCrostie – Current Parent).

Thank you to the following who donated prizes: Alex Baykitch AM (ON 1982), Alan Goad – Affinity Golf, Tony Bosman (ON 1972), Mario Isaias (ON 1978), Short Marine, Ben Smit (ON 1991), Tony King (ON 1984) – Apple Australia, Graeme Martin (ON 1967) and Rod Bosman (ON 1978) & The Office of Community & Development.

Without the abovementioned Sponsors and Donors the day would not go ahead.

We look forward to welcoming you all next year at Concord Golf Club on 5 March 2020.
