Adams Ski & Golf Day

About the event

Adams Ski & Golf Day

The annual Adams Ski & Golf Day is held on the first Friday in July at Mt Buller and the Mansfield Golf Course. This fun event allows teams of 4 to enjoy the sporting attributes of skiing at Buller and playing golf in Mansfield whilst raising money for a worthy cause. The fundraising event first commenced in 1999 to raise money towards Mansfield schools snowsports programs and has now raised upwards of $300,000 which is an outstanding achievement by all involved.

Get some friends together to build your team of 4 and have a fantastic day on the snow, and the fairways, while raising money for the 2022 Mansfield schools skiing and snowboarding programs. Money raised will be distributed between Mansfield Primary, Mansfield Secondary, St Mary’s Primary, Merrijig Primary, Jamison Primary, Steiner School and Mt Buller Sports and Recreation Association to support local kids learning snowsports at Mt Buller enabling many children to participate in snow sports for the very first time

Consistency rather than speed is the objective around the gates and teams are rewarded for having the smallest time differential between each rider’s two runs. Following the ski and snowboard leg, the teams make their way to the Mansfield Golf Course for a BBQ lunch followed by an Ambrose competition.

After the round finishes, presentations occur at the golf club and a vast array of fantastic prizes are given out to the 8 different category winners. These prizes have been generously donated by the 38 secondary sponsors who also make this great event possible.

ADAMS CALCUTTA DINNER

The Calcutta will be held the night before on Thursday. Get your team together the night before to wax your skis, polish your clubs, help raise more money and get into the spirit of the event. 

Registration for the dinner is closed!

STAGE 1 – SKI & SNOWBOARD RACING ON BOURKE STREET, MT BULLER
Racing starts at 8.15am. It is not the fastest team that wins, rather the team with the least time difference between their 1st and 2nd runs in a Parallel Giant Slalom. It is consistency that counts! (Even if it is consistently slow!)

STAGE 2 – AN AFTERNOON OF GOLFING IN MANSFIELD
The ski racing will wrap up around 10.00am and everyone heads down the mountain to the beautiful Mansfield Golf Club. Teams gather at the Clubhouse from 11.00am with an 18-hole midday tee-off. The Golf format will be 4 person Ambrose. Again, it is a team effort with the best ball on each stroke counting.

The day will conclude with presentations at the Golf Club. It does not get much better – a ski in the morning and a hit of golf with friends in the afternoon and all for a great local cause. So get your team together and register now as entries are limited!
