The outing, now in its 22nd year, will be held on January 4. It will adopt the same principles as previous years, a four-person ambrose at the Nambucca Heads Island Golf Club. Cost is $10 per person which includes golf, lunch and auction. For non-golfers and families the cost is $5 each and $20 respectively.

 Teams must get in quick and register at the golf pro shop or clubhouse for a shotgun start. Tee off for the morning is 7am, lunch is from 10.30 and the sporting memorabilia auction is from 1.30pm.

“We’re so close to the elusive $350,000 total,” Ray told the Guardian. “I’m confident we’ll get enough to hit the mark, and more.

“The community always gets behind us for this event and I’m confident this one will be no different.

“I’ve already got a huge number of auction items, and am expecting more to come before the event kicks off.”
