The Vollé Great New Zealand Tee Off is one of the biggest golf auctions in New Zealand, where over 180 golf clubs donate more than $75,000 worth of tee times, for golfers around the country to enjoy during Movember.

Following its debut last year, which raised over $77,000, the Vollé Great New Zealand Tee Off is back and bigger than ever. Running from November 22nd to December 1st, golfers from all corners of the country tee off to raise money and awareness for men’s health.

You can bid on a huge list of courses and secure amazing golf experiences. Each golf club has donated two tee times, which will be auctioned off from October 15th. 100% of proceeds from the auction go to Movember, helping fund critical men’s health initiatives. It’s an opportunity to enjoy the game you love and make a real difference in the lives of others.

All Black Harry Plummer is among the hundreds of Kiwis preparing to swarm golf courses this Movember. Plummer has long been vocal about the importance of mental health, particularly within the high-pressure world of professional sports.

" It's awesome to be involved with Movember and the Great Tee Off this year. As a professional rugby player, I know firsthand how much pressure, both on and off the field, can affect your mental health. "

Movember’s New Zealand Country Director, Robert Dunne, says this initiative is a great way to promote social connection and encourage men to stay active. “At Movember, we are huge advocates of community sport and the positive impact it has on men’s lives,” says Dunne. "For many, golfing with mates is more than just a bit of fun – it is an extremely effective men’s health tool and a great way to boost mental wellbeing through connection, conversation and a bit of friendly competition."

With an epic prize up for grabs, everyone who bids on a tee will go in the draw to win the ultimate golf experience for themselves and three mates at Te Arai Links. Winners will be hosted by Movember NZ ambassadors and the Alternative Commentary Collective team, where they'll enjoy dinner at the legendary Ric’s Restaurant and an overnight stay at the on-site accommodation.
