MORE than 80 keen skiers and golfers took part in last Friday’s Adams Ski & Golf annual event raising some $38,000 for the Mansfield district schools winter sports programs.
The event this year was held in near perfect conditions, despite the past few weeks of heavy rains and soggy grounds.
The Mansfield Golf Club opened its doors and greens to help host the event – the course looking magnificent.
At the end of the day presentations were made to many winners from both the downhill slopes and the golf greens.
Compering the presentations was golf club president Tom Swan along with Roman Pacek.
