UPDATE: Auckland Golf Tournament 2009

07 December, 2009

On Friday 30th October, the Auckland Golf Tournament was held at The Grange Golf Course and can only be described as being a hugely successful day of fundraising for the vital work of the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research.

130 Golfers from all over NZ took part in the Ambrose Tournament, followed by a supper and auction in the Club House. Some teams were highly competitive, others enjoyed the sunny day and were seen to linger around the Tip Top icecream stand on Hole #8.

The event could not take place without the invaluable support of our hole sponsors - some have been involved for several years now and others were new in 2009 and we look forward to having them return in 2010.  The Malaghan Institute would like to acknowledge these wonderful supporters and state again how grateful we are for their continued support.

These were:

  • AMI Insurance - our principal sponsor
  • Coca Cola Amatil
  • Datastor
  • Hemisphere Freight
  • Tip Top Icecream
  • IPL - Industrial Processors Ltd
  • Mazda
  • Stevenson
  • One Source
  • NOW Couriers
  • The Block Shop
  • Plan B
  • Regal Haulage
  • Porter Hire
  • Kiely Thompson Caisley
  • Oracle
  • Smith and Smith


Our thanks too to Spy Valley Wines for their generous provision of wine for the event.   And to Cape Kidnappers and Eagles Nest, two fabulous resorts who provided exciting packages for our auction which contributed to the outstanding $46,500 raised for the Malaghan Institute on the day.

We also received numerous other goods and services that went towards ensuring that the day was a great success.

The annual Malaghan Golf Tournament is co-ordinated by the Auckland Friends Group who worked extremely hard leading up to and during the event.
