One lucky winner could walk away with a car for a hole-in-one on the 13th hole. Organisers are hoping someone does indeed hole out.
The field is filling up quickly, so book early to avoid disappointment.
The tournament is organised by the Port Shepstone Islamic School and all funds raised will go to underprivileged pupils attending the school.
The PS Islamic School would like to thank the sponsors and all those who will be playing in the event.

Cassim died in June two years ago, at the age of 76. He was born and raised in Port Shepstone, coming from humble beginnings.
After he married his late wife Amina, he joined the family business known as Amy’s Curtain Centre.
Cassim was one of the pioneer non-white golfers on the South Coast, making a huge contribution to the development of golf among the underprivileged.
He was one of the first among the golfers to buy a car and, being very generous, used to ferry players to other courses for competitions.
But it wasn’t limited to this, or even golf, as he also contributed to the hosting and sponsoring of various golf and bowls tournaments.
He was passionate about the game of golf and very competitive, playing most of his golf at the old St Michael’s golf course and the Wild Coast Country Club.

Cassim is survived by three daughters – Ayesha, Hajra and Fathima – and a son Muhammed, who is a cardiothoracic surgeon in Johannesburg.
Tribute must be paid to Ismail Asmall, popularly known as Milo who worked and lived with Cassim for much of his life.
Gratitude is extended to Ayesha and Milo who took good care of an ailing Cassim till the very end.
