The women of the Portarlington Golf Club – and their visitors – have given enormous support in more ways than one to the Breast Cancer Trials.

Sporting genuinely spectacular bespoke and bejazzled bras – on players, buggies and even carts - the 76 golfers raised an extraordinary $1745 for the cause.

“We’re super proud to do that, especially in a genuinely fun atmosphere to help such an important cause,” club spokeswoman Angela Royal said.
“The bras were absolutely amazing and to have everyone in the spirit, it was just brilliant.”
Many among the field donated money to buy bras that were meticulously prepared by Fiona Newman and Sue Holland, with the help of Deb Batten and Sue O’Connor.
And clad in the day’s pink and with many in their fancy under-turned-overgarments, there was a break in the post-round revelry for a group picture.
“You can see in Kaelyn’s photo just how much everyone got into the day,” said Angela, decked out in her deluxe “Steele Sidebottom” brassiere.

“Julie Walker helped a lot, Angela Foott was amazing as always and the thing about it was, as a guest day, we even had visitors pitching in to help and almost all of them commented about the atmosphere of the event.”

The Breast Cancer Trials is a group of world-leading breast cancer doctors and researchers in Australia and New Zealand who have committed to finding better treatments and prevention for people affected by breast cancer through clinical trials research.

“It’s obviously a cause that impacts a lot of people – we had several people share their stories – so we’re very glad to be able to help Breast Cancer Trials in our own small way," Royal said.
