The Mullumbimby Open prize table.
More than 150 players are ready to tee off and compete for $3,000 worth of prizes in the Mullumbimby Open this Saturday May, 12.
The event has been re-scheduled from March owing to rainy conditions at the time, and the organisers are crossing their fingers that the weather will hold.
The event was re-instated last year according to one of the sponsors Gary Brazenor from Bangalow Real Estate and Hinterland Properties.
‘The Brunswick Valley Open ran from 1980 till 1991 and last year we re-established the event to a very enthusiastic response despite some very difficult weather conditions.
‘I’m delighted to be a sponsor once again as it promises to be a great day with lots of prizes up for grabs, including golf bags and other golf paraphernalia,’ he said.
The stroke play event is open to all men, women, members and non-members with a handicap.
With an anticipated hot field it will be a great day for golf enthusiasts to come along and watch. There will be food on sale prepared by the club and the bar is open to the public.

In a world of corporate banality and predictability, The Echo has worked hard for more than 30 years to help keep Byron and the north coast unique with quality local journalism and creative ideas. We think this area needs more voices, reasoned analysis and ideas than just those provided by News Corp, lifestyle mags, Facebook groups and corporate newsletters.
The Echo is one hundred per cent locally owned and one hundred per cent independent. As you have probably gathered from what is happening in the media industry, it is not cheap to produce a weekly newspaper and a daily online news service of any quality.
We have always relied entirely on advertising to fund our operations, but often loyal readers who value our local, independent journalism have asked how they could help ensure our survival.
Any support you can provide to The Echo will make an enormous difference. You can make a one-off contribution or a monthly one. With your help, we can continue to support a better informed local community and a healthier democracy for another 30 years.”
