Prostate cancer exists in every golf club. Men over 50 are most at risk, together with black men and men with a family history of the disease. One man dies of prostate cancer every 45 minutes in the UK, and that's one for every 3 holes of golf.
Please consider us as your club or society’s charity of the year, or host a golf day in 2020. Join PGA members like Danny Willett, Rick Sheils and Andrew Murray to help us beat the most common cancer in men. Get in touch to find out more about our top fundraising tips, tell us about your fundraising plans, or give us a call on 020 3310 7231.
With so many beautiful golf courses in Scotland there's no excuse not to get out and play as much as possible to raise money to help stop prostate cancer being a killer.
Our Scottish volunteer golf committee is made up of local golfers willing to share their knowledge and experience to help beat prostate cancer.
They will make direct approaches to your golf clubs, offer awareness talks, information stands and fundraising opportunities to encourage you to enter our Scottish golf championships at Cathkin Braes Golf Club, Glasgow.
We’re always open to hearing ideas and suggestions on how to improve our work and reach more men, so if you’d like to join our committee or have any questions, please contact nicola.davidson@prostatecanceruk.org or call 0141 218 4765.
