EX Melbourne player and Australian Football League coach Chris Connolly will be the guest speaker at Mount Evelyn Chamber of Commerce’s 2014 Social Golf Day.
The Mount Evelyn Chamber of Commerce together with the Mount Evelyn Community Bank Branch are hosting the annual Golf Day to bring the community together for fun, laughs and hopefully a good round of golf.
The vision of the chamber is to assist with the growth of business and services in the town by supporting and promoting local businesses to become successful.
Chamber member and Mount Evelyn Post Office owner Gary Freeman said the event was just one of the many initiatives the chamber took to keep locals informed with what the group was doing and to ensure businesses in the town interact.
“We try to make it as easy as possible for businesses and create events that allow new businesses to mix with the old ones,” he said.
“It really is just a social day for these businesses – it’s not a money raising day at all.”
The day will consist of a game of golf at the Yering Meadows Golf Club with players meeting at noon for a 12.30pm tee off on Friday 2 May followed by a dinner.
“We always have a dinner after our golf game, so people who don’t play golf can still mix,” Mr Freeman said.
Mr Freeman said the group were extremely excited to have Connolly speaking at the dinner about his notable AFL career.
Yering Meadows Golf Club is located at 178-180 Victoria Road, Yering.
Cost is $65 per player (including green fees and barbecue dinner) with teams of four playing Ambrose Rules.
Dinner only for non-golfers is $35.
