Host the perfect charity golf day with Prostate Cancer UK

Why host a golf day?

Because it's more than a game. A charity golf day is a chance to:

• rally your local golf community for some feel-good competition
• welcome golfers of all levels for a day of laughs, drives, and maybe even a cheeky mulligan
• raise funds for lifesaving prostate cancer research and support.

And let's be honest- any excuse to spend a day on the course while doing good? That's a hole-in-one.

1. Make it a golf day for everyone

Golf is better when it's inclusive. Invite members, non-members, juniors, seniors, newbies and seasoned swingers. Encourage players to bring their families - even if they're just here for the BBQ and banter.

 

2. Nail the timing

Fridays or Sundays are sweet spots - outside of school holidays and busy periods. Book your date early to give plenty of notice so golfers can block it off faster than a missed tap-in.

 

3. Pick a fun, flexible format

• Texas Scramble - Everyone plays a part
• Best 2 from 4 Stableford - Keeps the pace up
• Mix it up with team and individual prizes - Something for every handicap

 

4. Make it meaningful

Supporting Prostate Cancer UK gives your day a real purpose. Every swing, putt and pint afterwards helps fund vital research and support services for men and their families.

• a letter of authority to boost club approval and attract sponsors
• expert help from our team every step of the way

 

5. Shout about it

If you don't promote it, they won't come. Use every fairway and Facebook page to spread the word. Why not try:

• club newsletters, socials and noticeboards
• WhatsApp groups, local pubs, and sports clubs
• golf forums and community pages
• local press or radio.

We can send you posters, digital assets and more to get the word out - online and around the clubhouse.

Let people know: when, where, why and how they can sign up to swing for a great cause.

 

6. Set expectations, build excitement

Once your day is fully booked, keep everyone in the loop with:

• tee times and event schedule
• format and scoring
• charity info and how to donate
• extras like raffles, food or post-round fun.

A quick email goes a long way - plus it builds the buzz!

 

7. Add flair on and off the fairway

Let's spice things up:

• On-course comps: Longest Drive, Nearest the Pin, Straightest Drive
• Challenges: Trick shots, hit the green contests, or broom-handle putters for a laugh
• Off-course fun: BBQs, putting contests, raffle draws, or a guest speaker at prize-giving

Need raffle ideas? We can help you approach businesses with a letter of authority to secure fab prizes.

 

8. Give our great prizes

Winners love choice - think:

• golf shop vouchers
• fourball rounds at other clubs
• restaurant meals, bottles of bubbly, or signed gear.

And remember, everyone loves a goodie bag. We can provide branded items like Titleist golf balls, tees and pencils to give every player something to remember from the day.

 

9. Roll out the red carpet

First impressions matter. Greet players with warmth, a smile, and their welcome packs. While they're registering? Perfect time to upsell raffle tickers or take donations.

 

10. Finish strong

Wrap up the day with a heartfelt thank you. Short speech. Big impact. Then follow up with a thank-you email, photos, and fundraising totals.

 

Let's get the ball rolling!
