Heidelberg Golf Club
Vicki WARD (Eltham – Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Natural Disaster Recovery, Minister for Equality) (09:54): Congratulations to the Heidelberg Golf Club on the success of their 2025 pro-am event. With 220 entrants, it is one of the major events on the PGA schedule and the biggest golfing event within Banyule city. The event dates back to 1949 and is played in memory of Don Walker, who was a club professional in the 1930s and lost his life in World War II. Heidelberg Golf Club annually donates proceeds from the event to a different charity, and this year’s event raised a phenomenal $11,000 for Hayden’s Helping Hands, which supports those experiencing homelessness by providing food supplies and connection. I acknowledge Lindsay Bell, general manager of Heidelberg Golf Club, and his team as well as club members and sponsors for their hard work in making this event such a success.
