Matthew's junior club is for Wenty, where I have a couple of connections, and they are doing a fundraising golf day on Friday, 17th September. The boys have to pay their own way over - and the trip will cost over $7k, so the club is trying to raise some money to take the burden of his parents.
I think it would be great if as a community we could help out. What I'd love to do is raise $300 and 1Eyed Eel will sponsor a hole on the day. And if there are a few people who like a game of golf, it's a four-ball ambrose event so if you can get a half day off work it would be a good opportunity to form a team or two as well. Or if you happen to run your own business and you'd be interested in sponsoring a hole in your own right, let me know and I'll send across the details.
Matthew won the coaches award for the Parra SG Ball team. He's got that Hindmarsh-like quality of getting through a stack of work and always being in the right place at the right time.
I'd be delighted if the 1Eyed Eel community could contribute to helping out one of the shining lights among the next-generation Eels. I'm going to put a donate widget on the site early next week but if you're interested in playing or sponsoring let me know.
