Indoor golf comp raises money for charity
INDOOR golfers are helping raise funds for seriously ill children through a six-week charity initiative for the Starlight Children’s Foundation.
X-Golf Cairns is participating in X-Golf for Good, a national fundraising campaign running from 5 October to 15 November 2026 at 33 locations Australia-wide.
The initiative encourages local golfers to participate in competitions, community events, fundraising challenges and a national silent auction, with proceeds benefiting charitable organisations.
X-Golf Cairns has chosen to support Starlight Children’s Foundation for the third consecutive year, helping the organisation deliver positive experiences to seriously ill and hospitalised children.
Operations manager Steve Goodluck said the campaign was an opportunity to unite the local golfing community for a worthwhile cause.
“For us, it’s all about bringing people together and this is a great opportunity to utilise our local network of indoor golfers to support an organisation doing such important work here.”
“Starlight brings an incredible service to Australian families, and we’re proud to be able to get behind them for the third consecutive year and help raise awareness for the work they do.”
Last year, the X-Golf network raised over $21,000 for the Starlight Children’s Foundation.
This year’s fundraising activities include a free national tournament offering a share of a $1500 prize pool, alongside Mini Game Blitz, nearest-the-pin and hole-in-one competitions.
The Chippies for Charity initiative will also donate $2 from every serve of chips directly to the cause.
Other activities included the Event Night Scramble, held from 26 to 30 October, in which teams of up to four players competed in a nine-hole scramble for X-Golf merchandise. A community night on 29 October also brought together charities, partners and players.
The campaign’s national silent auction features prizes such as luxury holidays and sports memorabilia.
