The PGA-organised event will be held on our local course on Tuesday, October 29.
This year’s Pro-Am will feature the esteemed players of ‘The Legends Tour’ who will showcase their expertise on our picturesque local course.
Additionally, local golfers can enjoy a game with the ‘legends’, as well as a welcome function on the Monday evening and other social activities.
Sponsors and interested players are being sought for this event. Contact the club for more information. The club appreciates the support of Edward River Council through its Visit Deni initiative.
