About the event
Motor Neurone Disease is a cruel and rapidly progressive disease that affects the nerves and ultimately the ability to move independently, speak, swallow & breathe. More than 2000 Australians are currently living with MND. Two people die every day and another two are diagnosed...and there is NO CURE
Sign up today to play in Rowlo’s 10th Annual Golf Day. You can also become a sponsor of this exciting event. By being involved, you will be making a valuable contribution to potentially lifesaving MND research at Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (RBWH).

Rowlo’s Story
Mark (Rowlo) was a healthy and active husband and father of 3. He was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in November 2006, aged 44. At the time, we hadn’t heard of MND, but we soon learned that it was a very cruel disease. Mark lost the use of his limbs and his ability to speak. He was permanently in a wheelchair, tube fed and reliant on 24 hour care. Despite all of this, he considered himself lucky to beat the odds and survive for 7 1/2 years. This time gave him the opportunity to live his life to the absolute fullest and to give back. Mark initiated Rowlo’s Golf Day in 2012 with a goal to create a greater awareness of MND and to raise the desperately needed funds for MND research. Currently, there is no known cause, effective treatment or a cure. Mark passed in March 2014 and Rowlo’s Golf Day continues in his honour and to be able to offer financial support for ongoing research through the RBWH Foundation.

Key Features of Ambrose
- A minimum of 2 drives per player
- If your best ball is played from within a hazard then each of the player's balls must be played from within that hazard
- If you are in a team of 3 players (for 4 person ambrose) then most formats will allow a fourth putt to be taken by any of the team members
- Your end score is adjusted for the handicap of the players in your team
- If you are in a team of 4 golfers (playing 4 person ambrose) and the team handicap is determined by how each team performs on 6 secret holes
- If you are in a team of 3 golfers (playing 4 person ambrose) then the combined handicap of all players is calculated and divided by 6 to arrive at the team handicap. This is then subtracted from the Gross Score of the Team to arrive at the Net Score
- If you are in a team of 2 golfers (playing 2 person ambrose) then the handicap of the team is calculated by combining the handicaps of the 2 players and dividing by 4 to arrive at the team handicap. This is then subtracted from the Gross Score of the Team to arrive at the Net Score
