Every dollar supports
Ballina Golf & Sports Club · Friday 20 November 2026
The International Men's Day Charity Golf Day returns to Ballina — a morning on the course raising money, and the bar, for men's mental health. Every dollar goes to Human Nature Adventure Therapy.
Why we play
Three in four suicides in Australia are men. Too many never put their hand up. This day takes something men already love — a round of golf with their mates — and turns it into a reason to show up, connect, and back a charity doing real work in mental health.
Every dollar raised goes to Human Nature Adventure Therapy, a Northern Rivers charity that uses the outdoors and adventure to help people build resilience, confidence and genuine connection — the stuff that keeps people well.
A relaxed, ribbing, genuinely fun day where it's easy to be around other people.
Putting men's mental health on the table without making it heavy.
100% of proceeds fund adventure therapy in our own community.
Last year was just the start
Thirty teams. Perfect weather. An incredible spirit across the course — and a genuine sense that we'd started something worth coming back to. Here's where 2025 landed.
In 2026 we're going bigger — with a target of $40,000 for Human Nature.
Help us get thereHow the day runs
An ambrose-style team event built for a good time first — whether you're off scratch or just there for the carts and the cold ones.
Roll in for breakfast and coffee, sort the carts, and head out together for a shotgun start across the course.
Teams of four, ambrose format, novelty holes and on-course activations. Costumes strongly encouraged.
Drink carts, longest drive, nearest the pin and a few surprises waiting for you between the fairways.
Come off the course for a proper feed, team prizes, and the wrap-up that everyone sticks around for.
Major prizes, experiences and a roving raffle — all stacked to push the fundraising total up and up.
A light, fun finish to the day that keeps the room buzzing well after the last putt drops.
Our mobile-friendly web app will bring everything golfers need together in one convenient place, from arrival through to the final presentation.
Use the app to access:
Available on your phone throughout the day and via the touch-screen kiosk at the Pro Shop, the app will help golfers make the most of every part of the experience while giving our partners valuable additional exposure.
Sink the ace on the nominated hole and drive away a winner — Mazda is back on board for 2026.
