Second annual Lloyd’s Australia Golf Day a swinging success

Second annual Lloyd’s Australia Golf Day a swinging success

A great day was enjoyed by the capacity crowd at the 2nd annual Lloyd’s Golf Day in support of SpinalCure. The day kicked off with a putting competition and featured another narrow miss on the $20,000 hole-in-one prize, generously contributed by event sponsor Beazley.

A morning on the greens at Avondale was wrapped up with a fabulous lunch in the club-house followed by prize presentations (with the team from Guy Carpenter victorious on the day), an auction and raffle prize draw.

Proceeds from the event have generously been donated to SpinalCure to fund vital medical research into curing paralysis.

SpinalCure is honoured to be the standing beneficiary of the event and is very grateful to our partners at Lloyd’s, along with major sponsors XL Catlin, SURA, Steadfast Underwriting Agencies, Beazley, JLT Re and Argenta.
