New major golf sponsor announced

9/3/2010

We are pleased to announce that Dunedin Casino has signed on as Naming Rights Sponsor for the 2010 Otago Boys’ High School Foundation’s 5th Annual Ambrose Golf Classic to be played on Friday 19th March.

To have a sponsor of this calibre supporting not only the tournament but the Foundation is testament to the goodwill and support for the Foundation’s objectives of supporting Otago Boys’ High School in the years ahead.

The tournament has attracted incredibly strong interest this year with only one hole sponsor and two team entries left to fill. This will take the field to 120 players.

Hole sponsors include: Dunedin Casino, R D Petroleum, National Bank, Hope & Sons, WHK Taylors, Craigs Investment Partners, Konica Minolta, Otago High School Old Boys’ Society, Wilkinson Adams, Financial Planning Ltd, Remarkable Golf Tours Queenstown, Sharpies, Rhubarb Café, Harvie Green Wyatt, Larnach Castle, Stadium Bar, Independent Liquor.

There is an outstanding prize pool on offer this year with the winning team enjoying a $2,500.00 Weekend Golfing Getaway in Queenstown supplied by our Major Prize Sponsor – Remarkable Golf Tours Queenstown.

The winners will enjoy:

A round of golf for 4 at Jacks Point (carts included)
$200 Dinner voucher shared between four at Pier 19
1 Night’s accommodation for 4 including breakfast at Crowne Plaza
Shotover Jet ride for four
A round of golf for 4 at Millbrook (carts included)

On top of this the generosity shown by the Old Boys’ business community in supplying the other prize packages has been nothing short of incredible. We are hugely in debt to Brett Cowles at The Stadium Bar, Ben Kidson at Independent Liquor, Alan Rose at Sharpies Golf, David Skeggs & Akarua Winery, Martin Dippie at Mitre 10 Mega, Jonathon Usher from Usher Holdings, Andrew Campbell from Wattyl NZ, Matt Scoles at Quest Apartments, Neil Metcalf at St Clair Golf Course, Rick Wellington at Preens Drycleaning, Sam Kerr at Rhubarb Café and - of course - Chris Ramsay from Dunedin Casino and Tim Kershaw from Remarkable Golf Tours Queenstown.

On top of these great prizes there are many others including a $25,000.00 Hole in One with the 4th hole at St Clair being allocated as the ‘lucky’ hole.

Not only is there a great prize pool but the tournament is played under Ambrose rules which allows for the odd slice or mis-putt. The day is shaping to be one of the best tournaments yet and coupled with Dunedin Casino and Remarkable Golf Tours Queenstown we are set for one corker of a day… we would love you to be a part.

If you wish to take up the last ‘Hole Sponsor’ or field a team to fill the last two team entries please contact Doug Kamo at info@obhsfoundation.co.nz ASAP to secure your place. Individual players are most welcome as are supporters!

We hope to see you there!
