Shane Webcke and Mayor Wayne Kratzmann with the perpetual trophy presented to the winning team

November 22, 2014

More than 100 players turned out at Kingaroy Golf Course on Friday for the Mayor’s Charity Golf Day – and to get a chance to meet rugby league legend Shane Webcke.

The three-person ambrose began with a shotgun start at 10:00am.

Webcke – a former Kangaroo and Maroon – was “sheriff” for the day, chasing players around the greens collecting “fines”.

After the golfers returned to the clubhouse, a large auction of donated items  – overseen by John Allery from Raine & Horne – also took place.

All money raised on the day was donated to the Mayor’s Community Benefit Fund which supports South Burnett charities and not-for-profit organisations.

Michael Hunter, from the South Burnett Regional Council, said there had been strong support from the local business community, particularly with the donation of prizes.

When he spoke to southburnett.com.au, $6000 had already been raised and he was hoping this would grow to $7000-$7500.

The day was sponsored by Huston Motors, Glen Bailey Earthmoving, GMD and the South Burnett Times.
