Friday 4 October. Corporate Day.

This year team numbers were down slightly to 16 teams but everyone had an enjoyable day starting with a BBQ pre game, a cart full of refreshments running around the course during the game, and ending with a food platter prior to prize giving.

A best 3 of 4 stableford game was again played and the winning team this year was Abbotts with 126 points. Team members took home the Eagles Corporate cup for the year.

Eagles National President David Howie attended and played in the Thursday afternoon round with 2 Halberg Trustees, Trevor Thornton, Stu Harrison, and Canterbury President Neil Robertson.

It is expected that the 2 days would benefit the Halberg Foundation approximately $12,000.
