$500,000 hole-in-one prize fuels WA mental health fundraiser
$500,000 hole-in-one prize funds research into tailored mental health treatments for young Australians.
Wembley Golf Course is hosting a hole-in-one competition on Oct 11. The prize is $500,000, double last year's amount.
Money raised will fund youth mental health research. The Perron Institute is researching genetic factors.
This helps predict which medications work best for each patient. Current treatments succeed in fewer than 50 per cent of young cases.
This is the event's seventh year. It includes mini golf, sporting celebrities like Perth Wildcats player Dylan Windler, and nearest-the-pin contests.
The prize is split if multiple golfers sink a hole-in-one.
