The Holcim Mayoral Charity Golf Day is being held on Friday 25 November at the Goulburn Golf Club; I am excited to announce that the day is now a sell out!
Local business Goulburn Toyota will again be supporting the event and participants this year, have the chance of winning a car!! The first person to get a hole-in-one on the 8th at the Goulburn Golf Club will take away the all-new Toyota GR 86 sports car.
