Prior commitments with the Blitz Golf Pro Series have ruled Fraser out, but it hasn't impacted entries, with almost 250 in so far.

"We are amazed at the entries again this year given the later date, bushfires and everything else that's happening," event organiser Shaun Whitechurch said.

"It will be another huge weekend for Corowa Golf Club."

The event kicks off on Friday night with a six-hole shootout, including a 'golf pong' challenge to determine the best chipper.

Saturday is the first round of the two-day ambrose, with teams of three to compete.

All are invited back to the club for a free sportsman's night, headlined by boxing world champion Barry Michael, Australian Test cricketer Rodney Hogg and Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Greg Hall from 7pm.

A $20,000 hole-in-one prize is up for grabs on Sunday, as well as $23,000 in Mizuno golf prizes throughout.
