PLAYERS of all ages and abilities will be able to show off their skills as they go toe to toe with top professionals in the Cumberland Golf Pro-Am Tournament at Woodville Golf Course.
The tournament will be held over two days (October 6, 7), with the first day open to junior players from ages 12 to 16 years and the second day will see amateurs aged over 18 take over the greens.
Cumberland Mayor Lisa Lake says the tournament is a great opportunity to showcase the outstanding golf courses and upgrades including the completion of the 7th hole at Woodville Golf Course.
“This is a great opportunity to raise the profile of council-owned golf courses, particularly with the new 7th hole,” she said.
PGA representative and Tournament Coordinator, Peter Weldon says the tournament is a great experience for players of all levels.
“This is the first tournament we’ve been able to put on since Covid restrictions. It’ll be good to see a bit of normalcy return to such an important event for golf players,” he said.
“It is a great opportunity for younger players to get a sense of what a professional PGA tournament looks and feels like. Having such passionate players coming together to improve in their skills can lead to them maybe one day becoming part of Australia’s top players.”
