Rain Holds Off for Successful ASGA Annual NSW Golf Day

Sixty Four players teed off in the annual Sign & Print Industry Golf Day at the Ryde-Parramatta Golf Club.

The turnout allowed 16 teams to compete in a fun round of Ambrose golf hosted by the Australian Sign & Graphics Association (ASGA). The majority played off the maximum handicap of 27, with a few ‘real golfers’ playing off single figures. However, the Ambrose competition style made for an enjoyable day for all, regardless of ability and experience.

The winning team at the end of the day were Glenn Peters, Scott Novak, Jim Hyde, and Sunny Cabrera from Shann Group with 56 points, who were presented with their prizes by Steven Howland, Graphic Art Mart NSW Business Manager. Signarama’s Matt Fitzpatrick presented prizes to the runner-up team from Ricky Richards, Lee Liang, Ron Gottlieb, and Geoff Reid with a score of 57.5/6.

Par three nearest the pins were won by Gary Marshall from Signarama, Jim Hyde from Shann Group, Steve Macquarie from Rowmark and Geoff Reid of Ricky Richards. Shaun Weir from Roland DG and Lee Liang from Ricky Richards launched massive drives to win the long drive prizes, with Veronika Hansknechtova of ProVinyl taking it out for the female contingent.

Mick Harrold, President of ASGA, said the day was a pleasing success and a great opportunity for industry networking in a fun and friendly environment.

“Events like these rely on the support of our members and the industry, and it was fantastic to see that coming from many companies who brought along staff and clients to participate,” he said.

“We are also grateful to those companies who supported the day with generous sponsorships – Principal Sponsor Graphic Art Mart, Signarama, who sponsored the drinks cart, Amari Visual and HEXIS, who provided key sponsorships of novelty hols, drinks and balls, and Sign Manufacturers’ Insurance who provided the prizes for winners.

“Novelty holes were supported by Ball & Doggett, BounceLED, ProVinyl, ORAFOL, Ricky Richards, Rowmark, Roland DG and Visual Connections.”

“We thank all players for their involvement and for the obvious fun and camaraderie they displayed both on and off the course,” concluded Harrold.
