There's nothing like a round of social golf to ease the pressure of running a business with today's challenges. The annual Visual Connections Golf Day has become one of the most popular events on the industry social calendar, and this year was no exception with more than 110 golfers teeing off.
Winners, Team ExpoNet (LtoR) Phil Batty, Terry Bews, Laura Slingsby and Richard Stehn
Perfect end to a perfect day!The event was held in perfect sunshine at the Pennant Hills Golf Club, consistently rated one of the best in Australia and, as usual, was a day of fun and friendly competition, with a convivial atmosphere as participants caught up with industry colleagues and friends.
This year, Team ExpoNet took out the win, with Terry Bews, Phil Batty, Laura Slingsby and Richard Stehn narrowly edging out Team Signarama, comprising Matt Fitzpatrick, Glen Rodgers, Derek Cohen and Byron Silver.
Glen Rodgers from Team Signarama added to his winnings for the day by taking out the Straight Drive, and a number of Nearest the Pin prizes were also awarded.
