Keen golfers are being asked to show their support for the Commonwealth Games Association by entering a team of four in its Charity Golf Day, being sponsored by Standard Bank.
The fundraiser, being held on Friday 22nd July at Ramsey Golf Club, will get underway at 12pm with food and refreshments in the clubhouse. It will be a shotgun start at 1pm and after all teams have completed 18 holes there will be a meal and prize presentation in the clubhouse. The maximum handicaps are 24 for men and 30 for women and entry costs ?400 per team.
Association Vice President Basil Bielich said: ‘We’re very grateful to Standard Bank for sponsoring our golf fundraiser, which should be a fantastic event. We’re hoping that keen golfers will be able to pull together a team for a great day of sport, which will help us raise the money we need to be able to send Team Isle of Man to the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia.’

The event will start on the 4th April 2018 in Australia’s Gold Coast featuring around 6,500 athletes and team officials from more than 70 nations. The Isle of Man Commonwealth Games Association needs to raise over ?100,000 to send a team and officials.
Another key event in the Association’s calendar is the Family Polo Day, which is being held at Great Meadow on Saturday 6th of August from 12pm. HM Army Reserve team will return to the Island to take-on an Island select team at the Triskellion Polo Club. Last year’s event, held at Ballaugh beach, attracted over 700 spectators and this year’s match day experience will have even more to offer. In addition to ample free parking close to the venue, Isle of Man Transport is offering a special ?5 return fare from Douglas to the Ronaldsway Halt. To book call direct on 697457.
