Governor's Conservation Charity Golf Pro Am
Thursday 23 February 2012
Hosted at Growling Frog Golf Course in Melbourne's north, the Governor's Conservation Charity Golf Pro Am provides an opportunity for Australia's up-and-coming golf professionals to compete at the Graham Marsh designed championship golf course for a total prize pool of $15,000. The business community and the general public are also invited to play alongside our future sporting heroes.
All proceeds from the event will go towards Zoos Victoria's Threatened Species Program raising much-needed funds to ensure that no more Victorian terrestrial vertebrate species become extinct. Without conservation intervention, 20 species endemic to south-eastern Australia could be lost in the next ten years.

Growling Frog Golf Course will be closed for a tournament from 12pm Wednesday 22 February 2012 and will reopen on Friday 24 February 2012.
