Pink tutus, flamingos and plenty of community spirit were on display as 87 golfers came together for Cooroy Golf Club’s annual Tee Up for Cancer charity day on Thursday, 15 October 2026.
Despite a gloomy start and the threat of rain, only a few misty showers interrupted the festivities. From first-time players to seasoned golfers, everyone embraced the occasion, making it a memorable day of golf, fundraising and friendship.
Most importantly, the event raised an outstanding $5,859.79 for the McGrath Foundation, helping support people and families affected by cancer.
The fundraising total included a generous $2,500 donation from the Cooroy Golf Club Social Club, whose contribution helped make the day an even greater success.
A Splash of Pink on the Fairways
There was no shortage of colour or creativity on the course, with players going all out to embrace the pink theme.
Mary Miller and Wendy Morse claimed the Best Dressed prize, looking fabulous in matching pink tutus, leis and sparkling tiaras.
The Best Decorated Cart award went to Trisha and Mal Grey, whose imaginative display of pink flamingos had everyone wondering whether they’d arrived at a golf tournament or a pool party!
The colourful outfits, decorated carts and cheerful atmosphere brought plenty of smiles throughout the day.
