Southerndown Golf Club at Ogmore-by-Sea will again be the venue for the Wales Charity Golf Tournament for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.
The tourney – to take place on Tuesday, June 10 at the downland/links course – is for teams made up of four players with two scores for each hole being counted, with prizes for Nearest the Pin and for the Longest Drive on two holes.
Tee times are from 8am until 1pm, and there will be free bacon rolls, tea, and coffee on arrival. The prize-giving ceremony begins at around 5pm.
Annie Lawrie, SSAFA’s Regional Fundraising Officer for Wales, said:
“We’re so grateful to Southerndown Golf Club for hosting this day for SSAFA, which has raised thousands of pounds for the charity over the years.
“Southerndown is a wonderful championship course, and while I look forward to a very competitive standard of play, those taking part know the value of the cause they’re playing for, and I also expect some good-natured banter from the teams.
“Fundraising events such as this are crucial to our work. They enable us to can carry on what we’ve been doing for 140 years this year, because we believe that no-one in the Armed Forces community – regardless of ship, regiment, or squadron, old or young, serving or retired – should never have to face struggles and battle them alone.”
Entry fees for Southerndown Golf Club members are £20 per person as a donation to SSAFA, while for non-members the fee is £50 per person (£20 donation to SSAFA and £30 green fees specially reduced from £99 for the event).
