Clyde North golfers swing for sick kids

Clyde North golfers are teeing up for a good cause this November as X-Golf joins forces with the Starlight Children’s Foundation for its nationwide charity event.

With a national fundraising goal of $33,500, the initiative Starlight Swing aims to grant five wishes for children living with serious illness.

At the time of writing, X-Golf Clyde North has already helped raise $1,270 as part of the month-long campaign.

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

Having undergone chemotherapy for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2014, Peter witnessed the light and positivity the Starlight Children’s Foundation brings to children during 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 a $10 donation, players can join the fun at their local X-Golf, taking on the 9-hole Starlight Swing course solo or in a 2 to 4 player scramble.
