Win a trip to Barnbougle Dunes and King Island

GOLF MONTH has become an increasingly popular nationwide celebration of golf and this October the joy could get decidedly personal with the chance to win one of four great prizes to the top rated Barnbougle and King island golf courses.
Golf Month is all about growing overall golf participation and last year some 435 clubs and facilities provided more than 1350 offers and activities to consumers around the country.
A range of activities for all ages and abilities will be on offer in 2017 during October, including come-and-try clinics, women’s programs, open days, family days, MyGolf junior programs and more.
Encourage friends and family to win an ultimate golf adventure
A big part of the month is encouraging passionate golfers (being the biggest advocates of the game) to share the golf bug with friends and family and enticing them to get involved.
For a chance to win one of the prizes (detailed below) you simply have to tell organisers – in 150 words or less – who you’re going to share the golf bug with this October and how.
Thanks to Air Adventure Golf Tours, there are four ultimate golf bug adventures to give away to the best entries.
Entries open on 13 August 2017 and will close at midnight on 31 October 2017
