Hundred Hole Hike tees off

“Extreme golf” returns to the Bellarine today (Friday) to raise money for people with an acquired brain injury (ABI).
For the past four years the Karingal Hundred Hole Hike has raised money for the organisation’s ABI Clubhouse.
In 2017, another group of determined, dedicated hikers will take on the extreme golfing challenge to play 100 holes in one day, all on foot.
“The Karingal Hundred Hole Hike brings together a group of ordinary golfers, who hit the course at sunrise, to undertake an extraordinary task for a great cause,” Karingal Chief Executive Officer, Mike McKinstry, said.
Local bands will welcome the hikers back after their mammoth day in the event’s concert: Music to a Tee.
Rockwiz’s Brian Nankervis will host this year’s line-up, which includes Heartache State, featuring Surf Coast favourite Nick Barker, young Geelong group Hey Mammoth and The Carers Choir.
“The Hundred Hole Hike has become a great event for golfers and music lovers,” Mr McKinstry said.
“Come along, show your support and have a great night out.”
Promoters promised fabulous raffle and auction prizes on offer for the day.
The public can donate at www.karingal.org.au/foundation.
Music to a Tee begins at 5pm tonight at 13th Beach Golf Links with tickets available at the door.
