Golfers tee off in Geelong for sick kids

GEELONG golfers have hit the virtual fairways this month to help sick children by participating in X-Golf’s Starlight Scramble event.

The indoor golf tournament is being held across all X-Golf facilities across the country until October 12 and has a national goal of funding five life-changing Starlight Foundation Wishes.

Starlight Wishes give sick children something fun to look forward to, helping to create new memories to treasure forever.

At a cost of $7500 a wish, X-Golf has its sights set high, but is confident punters will tee off to support the cause.

X-Golf’s Peter Nolan said when the worlds of sick children were filled with hospitals and treatments, a Starlight Wish was an incredible gift of happiness.

“It’s a cause that’s close to our hearts here at X-Golf and we’re pleased to work together to help these families leave the pain of illness behind for a moment to enjoy more of what matters most,” he said.

Starlight Scramble participants must pass on $70 savings from the discounted simulator hire to the foundation for four players to enjoy nine holes. The initiative continues until October 12.
