A LOCAL golfer will be aiming for a fourth straight victory in the NSW Inclusive Golf Championship when it tees off at the Coffs Harbour Golf Club on Tuesday.

Having travelled all over the country and even parts of Europe to play in tournaments, Cameron Pollard said being able to play at his home club next week has many advantages.

“It helps with little things like being able to get a good night’s sleep,” Pollard said.

“Going away you’re not able to sleep in your own bed and it’s hard to choose things like food so being at home will be good.”

The 25-year-old, who has managed Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and autism all his life, just completed three consecutive rounds of 1-over in the Coffs Harbour Club Championship, so he’s heading into the tournament with some solid form under his belt.

He said that he won’t feel any additional pressure just because the tournament is being played on his home course.

“I feel pressure every time I get out on the course, it’s just dealing with it,” he said.

“I’ve got better at it over the years and it makes the game a lot easier.”

The NSW Inclusive Championships is an important event on the National All-Abilities Calendar. All-Abilities competition is fierce, with the tournaments now held alongside many major professional events across Australia and internationally.

The tournaments are for players with a physical, sensory, or intellectual impairment (based on the International Golf Federation IGF definitions).

This is another major event being held at Coffs Harbour.

Having already hosted a Ladies European Tour, the club is set to again host a NSW Open Golf Regional Qualifying Series event in August.

Golf NSW Chief Operating Officer Graeme Phillipson is delighted the tournament will call Coffs Harbour home until 2026.

“The Coffs Harbour area has been an excellent destination for several of our biggest championships, and we are thrilled a tournament that will attract competitors from across Australia now has a home as wonderful as Coffs Harbour,” Phillipson said.
