2024 Steve Waugh Foundation - Grange @ Forever Green - The Lakes Golf Club

The 9^th annual Steve Waugh Foundation Grange@Forever Green Golf Day was held at The Lakes Golf Club on May 23rd, raising vital funds for children and young adults living with Rare Diseases.

The event was a huge success with 25 Teams teeing off to enjoy 18 holes of golf at one of Australia's best courses. Grange@Forever Green is more than a golf day, with teams enjoying an afternoon of gourmet food and wine tasting experiences accompanied by Penfolds Grange, courtesy of major event supporters Penfolds.

For the third year in a row, we had perfect conditions for golf and in the end, five teams were within three shots of the winning score. Two teams finished on 103 points and just missed a podium finish. The SCG Trust (last year's runners up) missed out on second place via a count back when two teams finished on 105 points. They had a steady round with only two 4-pointers. Unfortunately for them, one of those 4-pointers occurred on their second last hole and they would have to settle for third. The runner up team also on 105 points representing Avalon Airport never had a score lower than a 5-pointer and when you throw in a 7-point and 8-point hole, you know they are going to be near the top of the leaderboard. The winners snuck over the line by one shot with a total of 106 points. Their round started on the 8th hole and they recorded 5-points on their first two holes and showed no signs of what was to come. Sixteen holes later they had five 7-point holes to go with seven 6-point holes and it was just enough to take out the win. Congratulations to the GWS team of Rob Aoukar (20), Alex Stanley (18), Stephen Doyle (11) & Brad Greenaway (10). For the full results from the day, please click on the button below.

We also had the Flightscope activity on the 14th hole - see below for a collection of shots.

The Steve Waugh Foundation champions that “no one should have to stand alone; everyone needs a team to support them”. At Grange@Forever Green, the Steve Waugh Foundation is generously supported by Teams of like minds passionately giving to the cause.

Funds raised on the day go directly to the Foundation’s Grants Program, providing life-changing and life-saving grants for children and young adults living with rare diseases. The only stand-alone Foundation of its kind in Australia, Steve, Lynette and the Team are there for the children and families who face the challenges of a Rare Disease with ‘strength of character’ every day.
