Being held at the Nowra Golf Club on Friday, November 26, the event is already a sellout for playing slots, while only five holes remain open for sponsorship.

The charity golf day aims to raise much needed funds for three local charities, Shoalhaven Suicide Prevention and Awareness Network (SSPAN), Shoalhaven Kids in Need and the Shoalhaven Education Fund.

So far the annual golf day has raised $65,900 for charity.

In fact, it's last event in 2019, after being cancelled due to COVID last year, raised $12,900.

After last year's cancellation, Brendan Goddard, of Macey Insurance Brokers, said it will be great to "have the event back on the course again".

"After missing out last year it will be great to see the event back in full swing," he said.

"The response this year has been fantastic, which is great to see."

In fact, the 29 team slots for the 8am shotgun start were sold out within 48 hours.

"Sponsorships of holes for the event is also going well, with only five openings remaining," he said.

"2021 is certainly shaping up to be our biggest event yet.

"Everything is in place for what will be a great day - we are just gathering a few extra prizes for the raffle.

"We have done everything we can to ensure the event is played in a COVID-safe environment."

And the Nowra Golf Course is looking an absolute picture.

The event is backing three great local charities.

Shoalhaven Kids In Need was established in 1993 by a group of local people primarily to provide assistance to Shoalhaven families of children with cancer or other serious illness.

The Shoalhaven Suicide Prevention and Awareness Network (SSPAN) is a network of representatives from the Shoalhaven community, government and non-government organisations, who work closely with the community to raise awareness of suicide, promote recovery from mental illness and build individual and community resilience. It's aim is to reduce the impact of suicide in the Shoalhaven.

The Shoalhaven Education Fund (SEF) was established to provide much needed financial assistance and support to local youth to help them achieve their post high school education, training and vocation aspirations. The group recognises the cost of regional students pursuing their post high school goals is often much greater than those of their metropolitan counterparts and that sometimes those costs can be prohibitive.

You can still be involved in the 2021 Shoalhaven Business Chamber and Macey Insurance Brokers Charity Golf Day, by sponsoring a hole for $550. The sponsorship package includes having banners and promotional material alongside the hole you are sponsoring; a chance to showcase your organisation with exclusive space in the function room for your company banners and even have some fun and provide a novelty event on your hole to promote your business and raise money.
