The New Monash Children s Hospital is playing its part for our community and now we have our chance to help. We invite you to be part of our Charity Golf Day on November 17th 2017. In addition to delivering the Monash Children s Hospital, we are particularly proud to begin building of a new dedicated paediatric emergency department, to be built right next door. On behalf of the Government, I thank everyone who has helped make this important fundraising event possible. Premier Daniel Andrews I look forward to presenting the trophy to the winning team. It takes a community to build a great hospital.
We know that if we ventilate the lungs of these babies in the gentlest fashion, with small tidal volumes using warmed, humidified gas, then the chances of them developing chronic lung disease is very reduced Dr Barfield Associate Professor Charles Barfield with 20 minute old Dennis at the Monash Children s Hospital. The transport incubator provides Dennis with small breaths of life, as he is moved from the birthing suite to the neonatal intensive care unit. The Cause The new Monash Children s Hospital, with over 230 beds, is one of the largest and busiest children s hospitals in Australia. This state of the art facility is co-located with Monash Medical Centre in Clayton providing world class care for our children. Monash Children s Hospital is a leader in foetal surgery such as an intrauterine transfusion that provides new blood cells to foetus suffering from conditions that, if left untreated, could become fatal. The new Monash Children s Hospital a wonderful new hospital for the children of Victoria. Premier Daniel Andrews

The Course Champions Course In an innovative first for golf course architecture in this country, Thomson & Perrett designed the Champions Course in a dedication to past champions of the Professional Golfers Association of Australia. Holes on the sandbelt styled course feature a plaque near each tee as a tribute to the relevant skills and attributes of the past champion, after whom each hole has been dedicated. Some of the most notable features are the gentle sandbelt style fairway contours, coupled with the open fronts to greens and substantially tree lined fairways. North Course Emphasising strategic shot making and providing a searching test of golfers short game skills, the open styled North Course features large sprawling greens, where getting to the putting surface is just the start of the challenge! Borrowing from the traditions of Scotland where Peter Thomson enjoyed his greatest success the course has several distinct features such as the Wall surrounding the 3rd green and the Burn (reminiscent of St Andrews) which dissects the 9th fairway. Utilising a Legend Couch on the fairways provides the North Course with superb conditioning and playing surfaces all year round.
