Ahigh-end restaurant catered for a charity golf day on Friday which benefitted the Millicent support group of the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Staff from The Tasting Room at Mayura Station provided the lunch featuring quality wagyu beef at the Millicent Golf Club.
The Ambrose competition was for teams of four with each player paying $100.
As well as lunch, some refreshments and a light afternoon tea were provided.
The event attracted 18 teams with the mild weather and a course in tip-top condition adding to the enjoyment of the day.
Event coordinator Angus McDonald was a strong supporter of the RFDS during his 35 years of operating the Mac Ford vehicle business in Millicent.
He has since joined the Millicent RFDS Support Group and has been buoyed by the support of the community for the Ambrose Golf Day.
Mr McDonald said firms either donated goods and services or provided them at a substantial discount.
For example, one gave a bottle of Penfold Grange to be auctioned while another donated a corporate box and accommodation package to an international sporting event.
All holes were sponsored by local firms as a further money-spinner.
He said a number of donors had told him they or their close family had flown on RFDS aircraft.
“We are grateful to Adelaide couple Marie and David Wellington who towed the RFDS simulated aircraft to Millicent,” Mr McDonald said.
“The cooperation of the Millicent Golf Club has also been appreciated.
“We plan to hold a similar event in 2027.”
