Record Numbers Attend Visual Connections Golf Day

The annual Visual Connections Golf Day has become one of the most popular events on the industry social calendar, and this year was no exception with more than 110 golfers teeing off for a round of Ambrose-style golf on a perfect Sydney day.

The event was held at the prestigious Pennant Hills Golf Club, consistently rated one of the best in Australia, and as usual was a day of fun and friendly competition, with a convivial atmosphere as participants caught up with industry colleagues and friends, and had the opportunity to make new connections.

This year, Team ExpoNet took out the win, with Terry Bews, Phil Batty, Laura Slingsby and Richard Stehn narrowly edging out Team Signarama, comprising Matt Fitzpatrick, Glen Rodgers, Derek Cohen and Byron Silver. 

Glen Rodgers from Team Signarama added to his winnings for the day by taking out the Straight Drive, and a number of Nearest the Pin prizes were also awarded. Daniel Mulvenna from Team Ferag won the second shot prize on Holes 9, 15 and 16 with Brett Burns from Team Spicers taking out the same gong for Hole 8, while NTP awards were also given to Joel Goff from Team Avery on Hole 6 and Phillip Marshall from Team Böttcher on the 18th. 

The Bradman’s Award for last place went to Team Mimaki, who accepted the honour with good grace.

The camaraderie and networking extended into the evening, with a dozen more industry identities joining the golfers for drinks, dinner and prize presentations at the ‘19th Hole’ – the beautiful Club Rooms overlooking the course.

The 2024 Visual Connections Golf Day was made possible by the generous sponsorship of leading companies. Manroland Goss was the Platinum Sponsor, with Mulford Australia sponsoring the Drinks Cart. Gold Sponsors included ExpoNet, Gel, ORAFOL, Rowmark Australia and Spicers. Novelty Holes were sponsored by Böttcher, Get Rigged, Labels Plus, Mimaki, Roland, Sydney Showground and Signarama.
