GET SCREENED AT CHARITY GOLF DAY
A CHARITY golf day will raise funds for Prostate Cancer Research as well as offering visitors free screening tests.
Droitwich Spa’s Gaudet Luce Golf Club, Middle Lane, is holding the golf tournament and charity day on Friday, April 15.
The competition is open to anyone with an active handicap, runs from early morning until 2pm, and entry costs £16 per pair. All money raised from entry fees will be donated to the charity.
LADIES GOLF DAY RAISES MONEY
GOLFING fashions were given the catwalk treatment to raise money for charity.
A fashion show was held by The Ladies Golf Boutique at Lutterworth Golf Club before Christmas and about £100 was raised through ticket and clothing sales.
The proceeds will be donated to the Robbie Anderson Cancer Trust, the charity chosen by Lutterworth’s Lady Captain Bernie Dolan.
The fashion show attracted more than 70 people, and saw club members swap the fairway for the catwalk to model next season’s new attire.
GOLDEN STAVE BEGINS IN MARCH
The Golden Stave charity golf day has been confirmed to begin off in March. The event has raised approximately $800,000 in the past, just part of the $12 million that the Golden Stave has raised since its first charity lunch in 1979.
According to organisers, the Golf Day will get a facelift next year with lots of novelty holes and many surprises planned for the day.
Players can enroll for $220 each. Companies can sponsor a hole for $2200, which includes sign-up for four players and the opportunity for signage.
US PUTTING TOUR
Charity golf tournaments have a new fundraising idea with the launch of the U.S. Putting Tour. This new amateur putting tour enables charity golf tournaments to hold official USPT putting competitions in conjunction with their events.
A charity golf event that holds a USPT putting competition will be able to qualify the winner for the USPT national putting championship in September 2011. The charity can establish its own format and entry for the putting tournament and can hold it as part of a golf tournament or as its own freestanding golf fundraising event.
£20,000 RAISED BY GOLF DAY
THE 17th annual Charity Golf Day at Long Sutton Golf Club has raised a staggering £19,500 for St Margaret’s Somerset Hospice.
The club, which has been supporting St Margaret’s for a number of years, was originally inspired to do so following the specialist care one of their members received from the hospice at the end of his life.
The charity golf day committee has once again worked extremely hard to make this such a successful event and a real highlight in the local golfing calendar.
HOTELIERS HOLE OUT
Gundagai’S Uralba Aged Care Hostel will benefit from $8000, which was raised after the Australiam Hoteliers Association (AHA) NSW South West Slopes sub branch charity golf day last week. The golfers were competing for Wimbledon Hospitality tickets in a successful day.
More than 100 people including well known publican Scott Kennedy from the Mill Tavern in Young and Peter Lott from the Family Hotel in Gundagai took part in the golf day.
FRIENDS OF MIDDLESEX ON PAR
The 15th annual Friends of Middlesex County Charity Golf Outing at Tamarack Golf Course on Sept. 29 contributed $15,000 to the Cerebral Palsy Association of Middlesex County. The 2010 outing brought the event’s total contributions to the charity to $200,000.
