I AM HOPE The Links Foundation-Sinking Putts Saving Butts

Last Wednesday, 17 September, MGC hosted Barrie Coleman. He’s a man on a mission to play all 414 golf courses in NZ to raise awareness and funds for Mental Health and the I Am Hope charity.
Baz lost his wife to suicide 2 years ago, at the young age of 49 years. With his 3 adult daughters behind him, he sold his house, bought a campervan, and headed on his way to play every course. He’s currently played over 157, a huge achievement already.
Generous members donated $500. Teeing it up with him was Moira Keyte, along with Blair Flynn and Jennie Brown. President Neil Goodger came and met Barrie and set them off on course. See his Facebook and Give-a-little links below….
