THE annual Adams Ski and Golf Day is on again this year which allows teams of four to enjoy the sporting attributes of skiing at Buller and playing golf in Mansfield whilst raising money for a worthy cause.
The fundraising event first commenced in 1999 to raise money towards Mansfield schools snowsports programs and has now raised in excess of $400,000 which is an outstanding achievement by all involved.
Principal of Adams Real Estate, Mark Adams said: “We normally get around 80 people coming to the Calcutta dinner.
“Zach (son) and I conduct the auction to sell off the teams to raise additional funds for the schools.
“The Calcutta event on the Thursday evening in the ABOM Moosehead Restaurant is lots of fun, laughs and we have some entertainment planned as well with Joshua Batten performing on the night,” Mark said.
“I am hoping this year we can raise at least $40,000 which will bring the total amount raised since its inauguration to around $450,000 to date.”
Roman Pacak of Buller Ski lifts commented: “In 2024, the Adams Ski and Golf fundraiser event hit a fantastic milestone of having raised over $400,000 for local schools Snowsports programs which would not have been possible without the assistance of our sponsors and supporters.”
The benefits to the local schools’ winter (term 3) sports programs is immeasurable.
Get some friends together to build your team of 4 and have a fantastic day on the snow, and the fairways, while raising money for the Mansfield schools skiing and snowboarding programs.
Money raised will be distributed between Mansfield Primary, Mansfield Secondary, St Mary’s Primary, Merrijig Primary, Jamieson Primary, Steiner School and Mt Buller Sports and Recreation Association to support local kids learning snowsports at Mt Buller enabling many children to participate in snow sports for the very first time
THE EVENT ITSELF:
The day begins with ski and snowboard racing commencing at 8.15am. It is not the fastest team that wins, rather the team with the least time difference between their 1st and 2nd runs in a Parallel Giant Slalom. It is consistency that counts! (Even if it is consistently slow!)
After the ski racing, everyone heads down the mountain to the beautiful Mansfield Golf Club.
The ski racing will wrap up around 10am and everyone heads down the mountain to Mansfield.
Teams gather at the Clubhouse from 11am with an 18-hole midday tee-off.
The Golf format will be 4-Person Ambrose.
Again, it is a team effort with the best ball on each stroke counting.
Get your team together and register as entries are limited.
The annual Adams Ski & Golf Day is held on Friday 11 July at Mt Buller and the Mansfield Golf Course with the Calcutta Dinner on the 10 July.
