Due to this week's wet weather, organisers of the Sam Matters Cup Charity Golf day scheduled for Friday have postponed the event until Friday 12 December.

There has been more than 100 millilitres of rain on the course in the past 24 hours and the Matters family has made the decision to push the day back a few months.

Sam, a talented footballer and golfer who was loved by all in the close-knit coastal town, was just 18 when he died. Every day without Sam is a struggle for his family, but they are determined to save others from the devastation of suicide by raising awareness and funds to support youth mental health.

Each year the family hosts the Sam Matters Cup at Gerringong Golf Club in honour of their beloved boy.

The charity day was the brainchild of the club’s professional Shane Cochrane, one of many golfers who witnessed Sam’s determination to master the game from the moment he first picked up a club as a 10-year-old.
