Many thanks must go to the numerous volunteers who helped organise the day as well as those who took charge of drink carts, sold raffle tickets and helped out with the BBQ. Heads turned yet again when the “Golfin Cheaters” from Katherine rocked up to the Clubhouse proudly displaying their Outlaw Motorcycle Gang colours. Others in the ‘best dressed’ department included the CATStones, X-Men, SkidMarx, Peds r Us and the Bean Counters who once again clearly demonstrated their commitment to police legacy. Numerous local businesses supported the day by donating prizes which were used for fundraising raffles, overall net & gross winners, place getters, longest drives and nearest to the pins. Finishing at the top of the leader board was “Charlie 1” who ironically won the Commissioner’s Trophy as well as securing the major raffle prize of a ‘gunsafe’ bar fridge. Other winners included the “Ill Eagle Parkers”, “Palmerston Bashers” and “The Phat Porkers.” “The CATStones” collected numerous prizes, none better than a tennis racquet each for finishing in last place which is also colloquially known as the NAGA (Not a Golfer’s Arsehole) prize. The Sharp Shooters on the par 3s were Dean Jenkins and Craig Windebank. “GripnRip” and “Weapons of Grass Destruction” won the longest drives. This year, we donated $10,000 to NT Police Legacy bringing the total to $40,000 over the past 4 years. The club appreciates the overwhelming support each year from police members, partner agencies, volunteers, sponsors and the NTPGC committee.
