Helen speaks with Luke Bates from Golfing Australia about the Outback Queensland Masters and the Million Dollar Hole-in-One Challenge. Taking place across six locations, Roma, Charleville, Longreach, Winton, Boulia and Mount Isa in June and July 2019, the Outback Queensland Masters will be a great opportunity for golfers of all persuasions to experience the great facilities in these rural towns in Western QLD.

Luke shares with Helen where the idea came from, who the event is for and what to expect at each location. He also explains how to be eligible for that coveted one million dollar prize!

In each town, as well as the golf competition, there are multiple other events taking place so there will be plenty to see and do in the region. Find out more about the Outback Queensland Masters at their website www.outbackqldmasters.com or on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.
