Phil Simmons Benefit Golf Day

The Phil Simmons Benefit Golf Day was a true reflection of the Gowrie Farm spirit with over 100 golfers on the fairways, and our largest-ever evening gathering filled with heartfelt support.

Our Gowrie Farm community came together to honour a man whose leadership and dedication have shaped the Gowrie Farm we know today. Since joining in 2019, Master PGA Professional and former Golf Director, Phil Simmons, has left an indelible mark – from building a thriving ladies’ section with Joan, to mentoring players young and old.

“A heartfelt thank you to the organising committee, which included our Golf Captains and several Golf Members, for their incredible effort. To Dale Hayes, thank you for your masterful MC’ing and guiding the evening with warmth and wit, and to Colin Hardie for your outstanding work on the auction floor.” – Jonathan Menteath, Gowrie Farm Golf Director

Congratulations to our winners: Dave Black, Mike Davies, Jess Davies, and Jordan Davies, who finished on an impressive 111 points. A special note: Jordan began golf lessons with Phil at the age of six – a full-circle moment on a truly meaningful day.

To everyone who supported this day – either through your presence, participation or generosity – thank you for honouring Phil in such a memorable way.
