Diabetes Corporate Cup

One of the highlights of the golfing calendar, the Diabetes Corporate Cup, is returning for its thirteenth year. This esteemed event not only offers corporate golfing enthusiasts the chance to play on some of the country’s premier golf courses, but also offers unparalleled networking opportunities. This is an event not to be missed!

The Diabetes Corporate Cup is a series of Stableford tournaments held throughout Australia between March and May, culminating with the winning teams from each State progressing to the national final at the Paradise Palms Country Club in June (for which an official handicap is required).

Hosted by Jack Newton, the tournament, to date, has donated $388,000 to Diabetes Australia – an amazing contribution supporting ongoing programs for people with diabetes.

By joining Jack Newton and registering a team for the tournament, you will not only be participating in the finest golfing event of the season, you will be making a significant contribution to Diabetes Australia and our quest for a cure.

Team entries are $1,925 (inc GST) which includes a team of four and eight guests to attend the Black Tie Dinner.

To register your team please contact Judy Brady, Tournament Co-ordinator on 1800 447 268.
