THE annual Adams Ski and Golf Day held last Friday July 5 at Mt Buller and the Mansfield Golf Course raised the most funds ever with an impressive $43,950 to give local school students an opportunity to participate in snowsports.

While the competition is about having a lot of fun, raising money funds was a serious focus according to sponsor and one of the organisers, Zach Adams.

Thrilled with the generosity of so many people especially at the Calcutta dinner the night before the event, Zach said many dug deep to make it the largest sum yet since the event started in 1999.

"It was perfect weather, we were very lucky," said Zach.

"It was one of the most enjoyable days and the standard of golf was much higher."

While the Adams team didn't fare so well this year, there was plenty of action to enjoy with 20 teams competing across both stages.

This fun event allows teams of four to enjoy the sporting attributes of skiing at Mt Buller in the morning and playing golf in Mansfield in the afternoon.

Stage one which kicked off at 8.15am included ski and snowboard racing on Bourke St, Mt Buller.

The ski racing wrapped up around 10am and everyone headed down the mountain to the Mansfield Golf Club.

Teams gathered at the clubhouse from 11am with an 18-hole midday tee-off.

The golf format was a four person Ambrose.

Again, it was a team effort with the best ball on each stroke counting.

The day concluded with presentations at the golf club which was overseen by the manager Chelton Crow and Mark Adams who also both competed.

Adams Real Estate wanted to acknowledge all the generous supporters and donors who contributed to the day's success.

"A lot of planning goes into a day like this and we could not have done it without Kelsey Black, Buller Ski Lifts events' coordinator, a big thank you," said Zach.
