Southern Swing Golf Series
One Great Day of Golf. A Meaningful Impact for Local Families.
Enter your team in one of the South Island's premier charity golf events and enjoy a memorable day on the course while helping fund free Cancer Society services for people affected by cancer.
Whether you're entertaining clients, rewarding your team or supporting a cause close to your heart, every registration helps make a real difference.
1 in 3 New Zealanders will face cancer in their lifetime. Yet the Cancer Society receives no government funding for the essential services people affected by cancer rely on. Through the Southern Swing Golf Series, our goal is to raise $100,000 to help fund these vital services across the South Island.
Hole in One Challenge
Think you've got the perfect shot?
Every Southern Swing event features the exciting Hole in One Challenge, giving players the chance to win $30,000 cash.
Thanks to the generous support of BMS Risk, NZI Insurance and Dual New Zealand, one perfectly struck shot could turn your day on the course into an unforgettable moment.
Whether you're playing to win, entertaining clients or supporting the Cancer Society, the Hole in One Challenge adds another level of excitement to every event.
