Golfers swing for sick kids

North Lakes golfers will be swinging for seriously ill children next month as part of X-Golf’s support for the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

X-Golf has unveiled a Starlight Swing course – a redesign of the Pirates Island Course with Starlight Children’s Foundation themes.

Developed by Korean manufacturers with X-Golf Group and the Starlight Children’s Foundation, the nine-hole course has animated visuals.

With a national fundraising goal of $33,500, X-Golf aims to grant five wishes to bring joy, laughter and play to families who need it across their 30-strong network.

X-Golf’s Peter Nolan knows firsthand the difference support can make.

Having undergone chemotherapy for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2014, he saw the positivity of Starlight Children’s Foundation in challenging times.

“It’s not just about fighting illness - it’s about giving kids moments of joy, hope and normalcy when they really need it,” he said.

“Every small act of care counts and we’re proud to see our venues and communities come together for such an important cause.”

This year’s Starlight Swing invites players of all skill levels to get involved and help grant life-changing wishes.

For $10, players can join the fun at their local X-Golf, taking on the nine-hole Starlight Swing course solo or in a 2 to 4 player scramble.
