On March 7, the Box Hill Golf Club was once again the host for another successful GIAV Golf Day, sponsored by GrainCorp. 65 golfers enjoyed ideal conditions on the day, which w as six more players than the 2015 Golf Day.

A feature of the day was the great service provided by the members who drove the golf carts to deliver the much-deserved refreshments during the day. Our thanks go to cart drivers Bianca DeVito, Katrina Liston and Loreto Carrasco.
