    This year, the 6th Annual Golf Tournament is being held at the Cedar Hill Golf Course with a shot gun start. In previous years, participants have given us feedback that the day is well organized and lots of fun, so we hope you will join us and see what all the buzz is about!

    This year we are thrilled to able to offer FIVE Hole-in-One competitions, in addition to other golf competitions around the course! We also have Bonus Packages which are optional for purchase. They contain Gimmie Strings of between 10 ft and 30 ft, as well as other competition chances. If you have registered, but not purchased the Bonus Package, you can purchase one at the registration/check in table on the day.

    The format is Texas Scramble foursome for both women and men, and with the practise of "bring a prize, win a prize", everybody has a chance to be on the winning team and earn bragging rights. We hope you can join us by sending in a registration form to our office.

    Thanks to the support of the many golfers and sponsors of last year’s Tournament, the Foundation was able to purchase a more suitable truck to replace a smaller one, enabling our Community Access Team (CAT) to develop their already very effective recycling program. If you came to our tournament last year, all the clients and staff of the CAT Team, once again, want to say a huge thank you!

    We have set our goal this year to raise $15,000 towards the purchase of a vehicle to replace one of the vehicles in our aging fleet. These vehicles are on the road everyday transporting adults with developmental disabilities to volunteer in the community, participate in recreational activities promoting a healthy lifestyle and attending cultural events. All these activities help the Society's clients to connect with and contribute to community.

    This year, we are pleased to announce that the Victoria Men’s Wear Golf Association have again pledged their support to our tournament, to create an even better and more enjoyable event for participants.

    If you would like to register and join us on please go to the registration form and send the completed form to the Garth Homer Society:
