Over 60 golfers of varying skill and experience took to the course at Laguna Phuket to tackle the Texas Scramble format amidst unpredictable weather conditions before heading back to the popular Cherng Talay bar for a BBQ, cold drinks and festivities.
The evening also saw a raffle and auction where the generous spirit of individuals and businesses across the island truly came to the fore, with an array of fantastic offerings up for grabs all snapped up with relish by eager bidders.
Overall the day raised B218,100, a hugely impressive amount that will help Steve and his family as he embarks on an extensive rehabilitation and physiotherapy routine, which will hopefuly see him back on his feet, in Pepper’s cracking bad jokes again soon.
A big thank you for such kind donations and prizes from: Dan and Lynda Bolland; Carole and John Dux; Tatonka; Benny’s Steakhouse; Carpe Diem; Tawai Cooking School; Carnation Massage; Homa; Laguna Cassia; SALA Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort; Anantara Phuket; Lady Pies; No. 7 Beauty Studio; Jeff Puchalski; Twin Palms Glamping Bang Tao; and Mrs B Bar & Table.
A further big thanks to everyone involved in the lead up and on the day itself, including: Claire, Khun Ae, Mark and all the staff at Pepper’s; Martin Carpenter for his incredible turn as auction host extraordinaire; Helgi for the expert photography; and Lara for making all the promotional and technical stuff look so seemless!
Overall a great day that perfectly demonstrated what a truly special and supportive community exists here in Phuket.
Get well and see you soon Steve!
