For the first time in its 40+-year history, the AGFR tournament flag is, this week, standing sentinel and gently flying over the Alice Springs golf course.
Around 90 golfing Rotarians and 30 non-golfing partners  from around Australia have come to the Red Centre for a week of golf, fellowship and service above self, generously supporting Rotary, the John Hood Memorial Scholarship, Palliative Care NT, Central Australia and the Western Desert Dialysis service.
As the old saying goes "If you don't like the weather, move to Central Australia". The forecast for this week is perfect for golf and just being outdoors.

In 2020, the 42nd AGFR tournament will be hosted by the Highton Rotary Club and held on the 13th Beach Golf Course, Barwon Heads, Victoria between April 19th to the 24th.
