The Drive to Remember Classic
Description
Play a round. Fund a cure. Start a tradition.
The Drive to Remember Classic (#TDRC) is an inaugural charity golf day bringing Canberra together to raise vital funds for dementia research at The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health.
Organised by the Kenna family in honour of our mum, Tracey, who is living with early-onset dementia, this day is built to turn personal experience into meaningful scientific progress. Held right before Christmas at the stunning Federal Golf Club, it is the perfect end-of-year fixture to bring friends, colleagues, and clients together.
What’s included: BBQ lunch, an on-course drinks cart, the post-round function with a keynote speaker, and a raffle with major prizes. Prizes for the top 3 teams, plus the Hole-in-One, TrackMan Longest Drive, Nearest-to-the-Pin and Practice Green Long Putt contests.
On the day: Buy-in challenges, power-ups and other add-ons will be available to buy at the event. There is nothing extra to book here.

FAQs
- What is the tournament format?
We play a 4-person Ambrose format. All four players tee off, the team selects the best ball position, and everyone plays their next shot from that spot. It keeps play fast, fun, and competitive for golfers of every handicap.
- Do I need an official handicap to play?
No. While players with an official Golf Link handicap will use it for net scoring, beginners and social golfers without a handicap are welcome to play off a default social handicap.
- Where do the funds go?
All net proceeds from entry fees, sponsorships and the raffle go to dementia research at The Florey, the largest brain research institute in the Southern Hemisphere.
- Can businesses get a Tax Invoice for ticket or sponsorship payments?
Yes. Humanitix emails a tax invoice straight after checkout. Please check with your accountant about how to treat the payment.
- What if I don’t have a full team of 4?
You can register as an Individual Player ($150), and we will match you with a group on the day.
- How do corporate sponsorships work?
Hole sponsorships ($300) are available on the tickets page. Sponsors receive tee signage and event recognition. For Major Partner and Major Sponsor packages, email info@thedrivetorememberclassic.com.
- What can I buy on the day?
Buy-in challenges, power-ups and other add-ons will be available at the event. There is nothing extra to book online.
- What if the weather is bad?
Play goes ahead in light rain, and if play is called off for safety we will contact all players, according to Federal Golf Club's safety policy. Rescheduling or refunds will be communicated in the event of poor weather.
