Golf community drives How Do We Beat It through £250,000 mark

The golf community is getting its fundraising drive back into full swing for 2024 with the return of HowDidiDo’s ‘How Do We Beat It’ competition.

Our partner HowDidiDo is Europe’s biggest online golf community and has helped to raise over £200,000 through How Do We Beat It, since its creation in 2017.

Last year, more than 12,000 golfers did their bit to help save men’s lives by signing up, raising over £37,000 - and this year, even more are expected to get involved.

By picking up their clubs and hitting the course, golfers from across the UK have helped HowDidiDo’s ‘How Do We Beat It’ competition  reach a whopping £255,000.

Our partner HowDidiDo is Europe’s biggest online golf community and has been raising money to help save men’s lives since 2017.

After signing up for free on their website, over 46,000 golfers have logged their scores through HowDidiDo - which holds the handicaps, results, and scores of almost one million golfers in the UK. Their best eclectic round (where their lowest score for each hole is recorded) between April and the end of December is then automatically calculated.

From there, the 16 best cards win a place at the final, held at the world-renowned Trump International in Aberdeenshire at the end of March. The tournament has also been held at the JCB Golf Club and Castle Stuart in previous years.

Today, our #HowDoWeBeatIt finalists are honing their skills in a practice round, gearing up for the showdown tomorrow at the How Do We Beat It Grand Final! 🏌️‍♂️⛳️

As well as reaching the quarter-of-a-million milestone, the latest installment of the competition saw a record-breaking 12,622 golfers take part, raising over £37,000 alone.

One golfer who realised his dream of playing at one of the UK’s finest courses - while saving men’s lives in the process - was Paul Jackson, who played in the 2021 Grand Final.

“Where do you start with the experience of the How Do We Beat It Grand Final?,” he said. 

“The course was outstanding. A really tough challenge. Five-star accommodation and treatment, if I’m honest. The whole idea of playing in a competition against players from all over the UK and having the chance to play on a world class golf course for the price of a donation to Prostate Cancer UK is not something I was about to turn my nose up at.”

"Just sign-up, raise money and awareness and give yourself a chance to have an experience that will long live in the memory."
