⛳️ Lucky our beers are better than our drives. 🍻

Proud to get behind a great local cause yesterday, supporting the charity golf day raising funds for palliative care in the Great Lakes region, in memory of Matt Nixon ❤️

A great day for an even greater cause, with plenty of laughs, questionable swings and community spirit all round.
