This Saturday the Mullumbimby Golf Club is hosting the Mullumbimby Rural Co-op & Whites Rural Classic.

The event is a two-person Ambrose with a 7.30am / 12.30pm shotgun start.  Non-golfers are very welcome to participate. 

Earlier this week Geoff and Lynnette from the club were testing their balls for roll in anticipation of a great day.

Prize value for the day totals $3,000, plus a $10,000 Hole In One. There will also be a chipping competition. 

The cost is $20/member player and $30/non-member player and includes lunch.

Bookings for this event can be done through the Club Pro Shop  – 6684 2273.

The Mullumbimby Golf Club, which is a small club, would like to thank the many sponsors of the event without whose support they would not be able to host these community events.
