SHELTER Box, the Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills-backed aid project, has received a huge boost from local golfers.

Organisers expect $18,000 or more will have been raised at the Bev Marks Australia and the Rotary club charity golf day at Cranbourne Golf Club on Monday last week.

More than 100 golfers took part, with a team led by former jockey and Melbourne Cup-winner Michael Clarke winning The Journal teams event for Applied Climate Control of Dandenong.

Clarke, who won the Melbourne Cup aboard At Talaq in 1986 and the Japan Cup on Better Loosen Up in 1991, also had his father and horse trainer Arthur in the team.

Father and son topped the day by being winner and runner-up in B grade.

Organising committee president Peter Verey said the day had been very successful.

"At this stage it looks as if we have raised in the order of $18,000, with Shelter Box being the main beneficiary."

C Angwin. B grade: M Clarke,

A Clarke. C grade: R Housman,
