Hot weather didn’t deter golfers from taking to the course on Friday for Werribee Rotary’s annual golf day fundraiser.

One hundred and twelve golfers took to the course at Werribee Park Golf Club for the annual event, which this year was raising money for cancer research at Victoria University’s Werribee campus.

The team from SLK Engineering took out first place in the Ambrose competition, with prizes also awarded for longest drive, straightest drive and nearest the pin.

Afterwards a presentation ceremony and lunch was held with more than 130 people in attendance.

During the lunch a raffle was drawn which added to the final fundraising total, estimated to be in the region of $25,000.

Since first being held more than 40 years ago, the Werribee Rotary Golf Day has raised in excess of $400,000 for a variety of causes.

Star Weekly photographer Damjan Janevski was there to capture the action.
