CAAMM Cup News
19/Aug/2008
To escape the World Youth Day mayhem, people came from as far as Melbourne and Buff Point to take part in the annual CAAMM Cup.
The CAAMM Cup started off as a result of a TAFE project undertaken in 1993 by Mr Terry Johnson. Terry’s task was to organise a Golf Day. Terry enlisted the help of his good mate Danny Moriarty and the two men have grown a small TAFE project into an annual charity event honouring the memories of Danny’s sisters; Clare and Annmaree Moriarty who passed away from CF. Over the years this “TAFE Project” has raised over $128,000 for Cystic Fibrosis NSW!
A BIG thank you to Terry for all your hard work and Danny for your support with this year’s CAAMM Cup raising $13,013.09!
The CAAMM Cup was delighted to showcase the talents of Mark Bylsma, Australian Long Drive Champion who awed players with his skill and power on the course.
The coveted CAAMM Cup was won by Team Harvey made up of Simon Harvey, Peter Baker, Mark Brown and Rob Kennedy.
The runners up were Stephen Baker, Peter Baker, John Starr, William Pigget
Ladies Winners: Rosie Scott, Ginny Buckworth, Judith Fay Taylor, Sue Bond
Ladies Runner Up: Tina Strickland, Rosie Breit, Mary O’Toole, Anne Harvey
The CAAMM Cup would not have been the success that it was if we did not have the generous of support of sponsors including: Inghams, Jaycar Electronics, Rice Motors, Do More Excavations and Leroy Excavations.
A special mention to RICE MOTORS for donating an outstanding hole in one prize, a gorgeous MR2 convertible! To the disappointment of many, the hole in one had no mercy and dodged every ball that came near. Many players came close, there is always next year….
Out thanks to:
- Darran Moran MC extraordinaire whose active involvement was the catalyst for a new competition, the Chipping Comp raised and additional $400 for Cystic Fibrosis NSW.
- Sabbine Schlowsser, Kerry and Rod Gorman for their continuing and tireless efforts in securing merchandise for prizes.
- Andrea Schmaker, Katherine McDonnell, Charlie Gill, Shelly and Tonia Dempsey for giving up their time to volunteer on the day.
- The staff at Riverside Oaks who look after the CAAMM Cup every year and ensure that the players have a great time and leave well fed.
A heartfelt thanks goes out to the members of the Cystic Fibrosis community and their family and friends for their continued support of this annual event.
Last but certainly not least a mammoth thank you to Carmel Moriarty whose tireless efforts and ongoing involvement have helped to sustain the longevity and success of the CAAMM Cup.
