Jarrod Lyle Foundation – Greenkeeper’s revenge

Jarrod Lyle Foundation – Greenkeeper’s revenge
Its the most wonderful time of the year…The Jarrod Lyle Foundation – supporting kids with cancer – day.
 
A massive thank you to our generous sponsors
  • Ainslie Football and Social Club
  • Woolworths (aka Al Winton),
  • Total Tools (James ‘Funky’ Hynes)
  • OHNO (Chris Deschamps)
  • The Pedlar (Renee Deschamps)
  • Greengold Nursery.
Shane Dawson has devised some devious cross sports to challenge participants this year.
 
We currently have an army of volunteers helping out this Saturday morning – most have been whipped into action by the master of ceremonies Fiona Wicks …she has coerced Craig Farrell, Al Winton, Dave Deeble and Brad Finnigan to cook the bacon and egg rolls. Thanks to Fiona for donating this part of the proceedings.
 
There will be drinks available on the day, with Al, Faz and El Presidente’ (Leo Davies) availing themselves to the thirsty masses.
There will be small competitions – and large prizes…please be prepared for $5 increments for putting competitions prior, hitting into the vessel that is ‘Ain’t she a beauty’ as well as the 0-100 numbers board.
 
We want to raise as much money for The Jarrod Lyle Foundation as our cost of living strain will allow.
REMEMBER THIS IS A COMPETION WHERE THE WINNER ON THE DAY MAY NOT BE REWARDED FOR AN ELITE SCORE – 48 POINTS WON’T CUT THE MUSTARD!!!
 
Oh…and the more people in YELLOW the better. A prize will go out to the most creative “ensemble” produced on the day.

Greens Keepers Revenge/Presentation Day

Greens Keepers Revenge/Presentation Day
#DoingItForJarrod
Help Make Jarrod Lyle Day a Fundraising Success!
Calling all members! The Greenkeepers’ Revenge (Jarrod Lyle Day) is just around the corner, and we’re aiming to surpass last year’s $3,000 total! This is where you come in.
JARROD LYLE FUNDRAISING
Due to my STUPID work commitments – I’ve failed miserably in garnering support for the annual Greenkeepers Revenge/Jarrod Lyle Day. Sooooo, I’m reaching out to all members for your invaluable support. We would appreciate gift certificates, donations, or sponsorships from local businesses across Canberra. Whether it’s a cash donation, gift voucher, or cheque, every contribution helps!
How You Can Help:
Approach a business you know for a donation—be it cash, gift certificates, or other prizes.
Spread the word to fellow members who own businesses—it’s a great way to showcase your brand with signage on the 14th alternate tee net. We’re also happy to display your flags or promotional material on the day!
Details for Donations:
Donations can be dropped off at the Golf Office with Mick, or sent via email to: golf@ainsliegroup.com.au.
Deadline for commitments is COB on November 14, 2024.
Let’s come together, have some fun, and make this event our biggest success yet. Your participation will ensure that we not only honour Jarrod Lyle’s legacy but also make a lasting impact.
Thank you in advance for your generous support! Let’s make this year unforgettable!
Mark Hynes
