Otago sets up a bonanza for its sponsors 19 June 2002
Otago Cricket's sponsors' golf day looks set to be a bonanza for those lucky enough to be playing. Dedicated exclusively for sponsors of Otago Cricket the Anngow Motors $50,000 Golf Classic will offer a prize list like no other seen in the area. Top billing goes to a 2.3 litre Mazda6 Sport, valued at $47,000, and supplied by Anngow Motors in Dunedin. This will be on offer as a hole-in-one prize on the St Clair course's tough fourth hole, a par three with an unforgiving reputation. However, a significant number of aces have been scored at the hole in recent years and Otago Cricket's Events and Fund Raising manager Steve Davie is hoping the car will be won. "Our sponsors are vital to Otago Cricket's continued progress and it's exciting we've been able to organise this tournament for them," Davie said. "It would be great to see the car go." If the Mazda6, which won't be launched internationally until late-August, early-September, isn't won a $1000 cash prize will go to the closest to the pin. The other par threes will also attract plenty of interest with golf clubs and air travel to be won by those finishing closest to the pin. In total more than $55,000 worth of prizes will be on offer. A number of holes have already been sold for the tournament, to be played on November 15, and Davie expects a sell-out by the end of July. Hole sponsors will have automatic entry rights. © CricInfo
