Rounding out ten years, the Moolarben Coal Celebrity Golf Classic was a success with great golfing conditions and raising $44,000 for local charities in need.

Around 200 golfers took part in the day and played an active role in helping raise funds to be shared across Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, Lifeskills Plus and Kanandah Aged Care.

Mudgee Club Professional and the Classics Tournament Founder, Peter Mayson was thrilled with the outcome of the event.

“It is always a key date in the golfing calendar and over the years we have generated more than $300,000 for local community organisations and groups.

“It was a wonderful day of golf in Mudgee, and this coupled with raising a significant amount of money for charity, we are pleased to have hosted another year,” said Peter.

The Moolarben Coal Celebrity Golf Classic is one of Mudgee’s major sporting events. The golf course was again at capacity with over thirty teams from across NSW competing in a unique six-person ambrose tournament, followed by an evening of dinner, auction and entertainment at the Mudgee Golf Club.

Moolarben Coal General Manager, Brian Wesley recognised the positive impact this event had on the community.

“Year on year, the Moolarben Coal Celebrity Golf Classic provides a much needed and sizeable boost to local community groups therefore we are proud to sponsor the day.

“It’s events like this that enable us to continue to make a positive impact on the Mudgee community while helping unite them for a spectacular day of golf,” said Brian.
