The inaugural UnLtd Open golf competition in Brisbane has raised more than $47,000 for children and young people at risk. The event saw 100 people across the Brisbane advertising industry putt for good at the Brisbane Golf Club.
Zenith Media took home the trophy with OMD/REA coming second and News Corp third.
Warwick Taylor, managing director at Zenith Media said: “We loved being part of the inaugural UnLtd Open in Brisbane. It was a fantastic day reconnecting with competitors and colleagues across the industry on a beautiful golf course."
"The UnLtd Open is unlike any other charity golf day and the energy and surprises across the holes made it such a special day."
For the first time in the competition’s history, a hole in one was secured by Aaron Nye, group sales director at News Corp. Nye also won two competitions for longest drive and nearest to the pin whilst Cheyenne Hayward and Tim Chatfield from JCDecaux dominated the rest of the individual competitions.
Anthea Gaffney, general manager QLD at UnLtd said: “What a gorgeous day for the first ever Brisbane UnLtd Open! It was fantastic to have so many people across the industry join us to swing for good and raise such an impressive amount for children at risk.”
