Million Dollar Hole In One

The Million Dollar Hole-in-One Contest is our biggest fundraising event of the year running Saturday May 28th to Sunday June 5th.

This year, proceeds will be used to support the Starfish Program. Hosted at the Fraserglen Golf Course, the top golfers everyday win great prizes and qualify for a chance to win a shot at $1,000,000 in the finals on Sunday, June 5th.

To our members we request three things (so far):

Prizes - many hands lighten the load! Please get your prizes in to the prize committee. If you don't have a prize to donate, we will happily receive cash!

Duty roster - Start thinking about dates and times you will be available to support our club.

Attend the Kick Off Lunch - being held on May 18th at Fraserglen
