Good Friday is almost upon us and that means we are gearing up for the Royal Children’s Hospital fundraising day at Sandhurst Club.

The Royal Children’s Hospital is such a great organisation, working tirelessly to put children and young people at the heart of care, research, and learning. The Good Friday Appeal is critical to supporting their positive community outcomes and is worth supporting so please donate generously to this great cause.

Our ‘Bad Pants Charity Day’ is all about having fun, while raising a substantial sum of money for the Royal Children’s Hospital – it’s not about winning on the day (although you will get bragging rights!) it’s about supporting our community.

Sponsorships
Sponsorships are still available but are filling fast. A massive thank you to all our sponsors who are already on board such as Frankston Ford as well as a raft of corporate and personal sponsors.

Invoices will be issued in the coming week, along with a request for any promotional materials. Please contact Keith if you have any issues.

Format of the Day
Bad Pants Day will be played as a four-person Ambrose so make sure you get your team organised in advance. There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd (both fields) and of course everyone’s favourite – the NAGA.

After your round, we invite you to join us for a complimentary Fish and Chips in the Grand Room – and for the presentations. If you have any special dietary requirements please let us know in advance.

Teams & Players
Tee Sheets have been prepared for both the morning (8am) and afternoon (1pm) shotgun fields. These tee sheets will be available to book as of Wednesday 13 March at 6pm.

Members playing in the event are required to make a minimum donation of $70 via the link below to the Good Friday Appeal before the event. Proof of donation needs to be provided to the pro shop – ideally before the event so it doesn’t slow down the registration process on the day.

Non-Members playing in the event are required to make a minimum donation of $150 using the same link. Proof of donation needs to be provided to the pro shop – ideally before the event so it doesn’t slow down the registration process on the day.

If you ever wanted to be Captain of a team, then this is your chance to shine, get your playing partners organised, be an early bird, make your donation and get registered. You will not be allowed to play unless you have made the minimum donation required.

Six Holes of Fun & Laughter
On the day we will have some great activities around the course. To participate in these, teams will need to donate an additional $20 per team, per hole (minimum $120 donation per team). For anyone wanting to participate on the day, cash will be accepted at the holes, but EFTPOS won’t be available on the course. We encourage you to pre-donate and receive a team tag that shows you’re all eligible to join in the fun activities. The bands will be available for collection outside the Winter Garden on the day.

Other Activities
On the day, we will have a hub table set up in the Clubhouse Winter Garden space where you can buy tickets for the Sausage Sizzle BBQ, Target Golf, Putting Competition and Raffle. Each ticket is $5 and you can buy as many as you wish – and use them for your chosen activity. EFTPOS will be available at this location, but please remember to bring cash for other on-course activities such as buying the pro’s drive, a betting hole (max $50) and others. The Drinks Cart will only operate during the afternoon due to it being Good Friday, and will be accepting cash and card.

As you move from the 9th green to the 10th tee you will pass the Putting Competition, BBQ, Target Golf & Raffle. We encourage all teams to enjoy a short 10-minute break to participate in these activities and grab a bite to eat. You are more than welcome to come back after your round to try your hand at winning one of the many prizes on offer.

Volunteers
Volunteering for one session will still allow you to play in the other. The sessions are 7:30am – 12:30pm or 12:30pm – 5:30pm. Roles include cooking the BBQ, controlling and collecting money at a particular hole, selling raffle tickets etc.

If you can help in any way, please contact David via the details below and he will allocate you to a task on our volunteer list. David will notify you of what task you will be performing on the day. If there is any training required, he will arrange for that to happen a couple of days prior. A volunteer roster will be issued closer to the day.

Management of the Day
On the day, we ask that any special requests be directed to David or Keith, as we will be running the day. This will allow Sandhurst Club staff to have a clear understanding of what needs to be delivered, both on and off course. We thank you for your cooperation.
