Adams Ski & Golf Day helping school kids for 25 years

THE Stage is set – or should we say ‘stages’ for this year’s Adams Ski & Golf Day 2024 to be held on Friday, July 5.

And front and centre of that stage will be the father and son team of Mark and Zac Adams who will lead the charge down the Bourke Street run to commence the day at 8.15am and finishing around 10am before heading down the hill to Mansfield.

This will be the 25th year for the Adams Ski & Golf Day which is all about school kids from the Mansfield district and how fundraising helps them hit the slopes and learn the skills of skiing.

If you love getting out and having a fun day, firstly on the slopes (only down Bourke Street) and then playing a round of golf at Mansfield golf course then this day is for you.

Money raised will be distributed between Mansfield Primary, Mansfield Secondary, St Mary’s Primary, Merrijig Primary, Jamieson Primary, Mansfield Steiner School and Mt Buller Sports and Recreation Association to support local kids learning snowsports at Mt Buller, enabling many children to participate in snow sports for the very first time.

The fundraising event first commenced in 1999 to raise money towards Mansfield schools snowsports programs and has now raised in excess of $400,000 which is an outstanding achievement by all involved.

To kick off this year’s event there is a Calcutta being held on the Thursday night (July 4) prior to the big day – held at the ABOM.

The Calcutta puts the registered teams up for ‘auction’ but gives the successful bidders the chance to get some money back – if your team delivers the best times and course figures, you win.

The Calcutta is always a great night with great food, good fun and the chance to meet up with others that always take part in this Mt Buller renowned event.

“Get some friends together to build your team of four and have a fantastic day on the snow, and the fairways, while raising money for the Mansfield schools skiing and snowboarding programs," said Mark Adams, principal of Adams Real Estate.

“But the event is not about being the best skiers or the best at golf - consistency rather than speed is the objective around the ski gates and teams are rewarded for having the smallest time differential between each rider’s two runs."

Following the ski and snowboard leg, the teams make their way to the Mansfield Golf Course for a barbecue lunch followed by an Ambrose competition.

After the round finishes, presentations include a fantastic array of prizes supported by local businesses.
