AVID golfers from across the Far North will be heading to the Mareeba Golf Club later this month for the prestigious annual Mareeba Open.
With $3500 worth of prizes, sponsored by Steggles, up for grabs, over 90 teams have already nominated for the two-day event.
The Mareeba Golf Open is one of the biggest events on the Far Northern golf calendar, with people from as far as Home Hill and Townsville making the trip north to compete.
Club captain Mick Deguara said he was keen for everyone to come along and support the local club.
“There are some really good attractive prizes there for people to win and we have shifted the date back to later in the year rather than the traditional March to try get away from the weather,” he said.
“We are very excited at this stage, and we have quite a good number of nominations.
“Fingers crossed we will get some kind weather between now and then – the greenkeeper and volunteers have been doing a fantastic job trying to keep the course in shape so hopefully we get a good run.”
Nominations are still open for all players with a GA Handicap. Nominations can be made by calling 4092 1528, emailing manager@mareebagolfclub.com.au or messaging the Mareeba Golf Club Facebook page.
