There is a huge prize pool of more than $4000 up for grabs, with 18 and 36 hole events across Saturday and Sunday, January 25 and 26.
The entry fee is only $20 per player each day, with a $600 prize to the overall winner, $300 for the runner-up, $200 for daily winners and $100 for daily runners-up.
There will also be $100 nearest the pin prizes, and a daily ball comp.
By popular demand, the ‘one prize only’ per player policy will apply, which ensures the prize pool is spread across the playing field.
Entry forms are available at the club or online.
