Charity golf events are a great way to raise money for good causes and many, varied examples have been attempted and achieved over recent years. Challenges often revolve around the longest day of the year with participants attempting to play four rounds or as many holes as possible in a 24-hour period. But, as more groups set themselves (and complete) these improbable golfing missions, being creative enough to capture people’s interest and cough up some cash has become increasingly tricky.
That was a topic friends Barry Ross, Crawford Anderson-Dillon, Dave Kerr and Chris Conway, discussed when they considered how they might raise some money for the British Heart Foundation in memory of their pal George Brown who was a fellow member of their golfing society: the “Royal & Ancient Company of Dishonourable Golfers,” (RACDG).
