More than $2600 was raised for the Halberg Disability Sports Foundation at a recent golf tournament held in Eketāhuna.

The Eketāhuna Golf Club welcomed 68 players to the annual Eagles Halberg Tournament last month.

There were 36 Eagles present for the tournament, on a day with perfect weather, organisers said.

A successful auction was held, with sponsorship from members and business people from the Tararua District and Wairarapa. Wellington member Graeme Howie excelled as auctioneer, with the bidding very competitive.

Organisers said the total raised through the auction and raffles would be a great boost to the Halberg Disability Sports Foundation which supported many disabled athletes in their chosen sport.

Local winners were:

Ladies: Olive Stephenson 41 pts.

Men: Regan Duffy 37pts

Both players will represent Eketāhuna at the Wellington regional final.
