More than 300 golfers, both semi-professionals and amateurs, have registered to compete for total prize money of nearly VND20 billion (US$889,000).

Apart from the awards for the top finishers, the organisers also offer big bonuses for athletes with four Hole-in-One contests with the winners walking away with a luxury car and membership cards to play at different gold courses.

All cash collected from competitors will be given to a fund that supports poor people in Yen Dinh District.
