South Coast Business and Financial Solutions has been a sponsor of the three-day event since it started three years ago.

Mr Cottam is looking forward to its return on November 4, 5 and 6 and would like to see as many tennis fans as possible soak up some of the action.

The event is set to attract some of the nation’s top tennis players, all of them chasing national ranking points.

Mr Cottam is well known for his love of sport but said he was a “fan of the local community more than anything”.

He said the South Pacific Open Tennis Tournament was a great event and one that he was extremely happy to be involved with.

This year South Coast Business and Financial Solutions will be sponsoring the singles events and the ‘Dash for Cash’ novelty event while the BIG4 Bungalow Park at Burrill Lake will be sponsoring the doubles and mixed events.

The team from South Coast Business and Financial Solutions will be enjoying all the action from a corporate box and are inviting their clients to join them for a drink.

Mr Cottam said he was particularly looking forward to the ‘Dash for Cash’ at 7pm on the Saturday night of the tournament.

It is a fast-paced and fun event with $1000 up for grabs and is sure to generate plenty of laughs.

As part of the event, players will compete for 500 special $2 notes that will be exchanged for cash.

Competitors must win a point as a receiver then dash to the sideline to collect their $2 prizemoney before racing back into position in preparation for the next serve from their opponent.

If they lose the point they go to the end of the queue waiting to serve and the server moves to receiver.

Mr Cottam said Ulladulla was a great venue for the tournament and boasted facilities that people would be lucky to find in some of the larger metropolitan areas.
