London Golf Club in Kent is playing a leading role in golf’s drive to beat cancer after forming a new charity partnership with Prostate Cancer UK, to help beat a disease affecting one-in -eight men in the UK.

The Ash-based club has announced a calendar of events over the next 12 months to raise awareness of the most common cancer in men and raise funds for ground-breaking research to deliver a national prostate cancer screening programme and save men’s lives.

In addition to hosting a series of fund-raising events between now and next September including a charity golf day and Prostate Cancer UK’s 36-hole Big Golf Race, London Golf Club will promote the charity to members and guests in a number of other ways across its facilities – including donation tins in the golf shop, reception and Spike Bar, staff wearing Prostate Cancer UK’s iconic ‘Man of Men’ badges as part of their uniform and a special charity dish on the menu.

As well as having opportunities to donate and fundraise, London Golf Club members and visitors as will be encouraged to find out more about their prostate cancer risk, a disease so prevalent in the golf community considering men at greatest risk are men over 50, black men and men with a family history of the disease.

London Golf Club’s chief executive, Stephen Follett, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to have formed this new partnership and to be working with Prostate Cancer UK over the next 12 months. Prostate cancer affects the lives of so many men and their families, and I would encourage all our members and visitors to support the charity in any way they can so that we can help to beat this dreadful disease.”

London Golf Club head professional Paul Stuart added: “As one of the main touch points with every golfer at the London Golf Club, our PGA professionals are delighted to support Prostate Cancer UK in this partnership; further supporting their work with the PGA as well as members and visitors playing golf here; a significant proportion of which are men at risk of prostate cancer.”

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with around 475,000 living with and after the disease.

Nicola Tallett, director of fundraising and supporter engagement at Prostate Cancer UK, said: “We’re delighted to partner with the London Golf Club and look forward to an exciting 12 months on and off the course. Golf is so influential in raising the profile of prostate cancer – a disease which exists in every golf club, affecting one in eight men in the UK. We’re proud the London Golf Club are committed to helping us beat prostate cancer by hosting a charity golf day, and by getting their staff and membership networks to show their support by taking on our Big Golf Race – 36 holes of golf in one day. This partnership will mean more golfers understand their risk of prostate cancer; and we’ll work with everyone at the club to help fund ground-breaking research to help deliver a national prostate cancer screening programme.”

WOW! What a difference…

As a local Brentwood resident, I have had the pleasure of playing at South Essex Golf Club a number of times over the years. However, the change to the course (and Clubhouse) since my last visit in mid-2020 is huge! Not only have the owners spent a great deal of money on restoring the greens and fairways (to an excellent standard) but the hours that must have been spent re-landscaping some of the holes (and bunkers) is truly inspiring.

I counted at least six holes that look (and feel) completely different to what was there before. I have always maintained that Essex needs a good, superbly maintained but affordable golf club to play at…and this could be it. I can’t wait to go back and revisit. If you haven’t been to South Essex GC in a while, now is the time to visit!

Motocaddy, the world’s leading electric trolley brand, has signed a major deal to become the ‘Official Electric Trolley’ and ‘Official Laser Rangefinder’ of the 2022 PGA EuroPro Tour – Europe’s foremost development tour – thereby extending the longest-running partnership in the Tour’s history to 17 consecutive seasons.

In an exciting expansion of the partnership, Motocaddy has also signed a number of leading EuroPro Tour players as Brand Ambassadors for the first time, with the season getting underway this week (25-27 May) at the Cubefunder Shootout hosted at the Harleyford Golf Club in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.

Sam Broadhurst, Ashley Mansell, Josh Hilliard, Harry Goddard – all UK – and Hyun Ho Rho from South Korea will each use the latest Motocaddy M5 GPS DHC electric trolley and PRO 3000 laser rangefinder throughout the season, as well as receiving a Motocaddy win bonus for any tournament victories.

“We’re delighted to continue our long-running partnership with the PGA EuroPro Tour and support the next-generation of future stars on their professional journey,” said Motocaddy Marketing Director, Oliver Churcher. “We are working with some incredibly talented Brand Ambassadors this season who we expect to go far in the sport, so to play a part in their progress is very rewarding. We hope that they enjoy using the Motocaddy products and make the most of the performance benefits they can bring,” he added.

“It’s really exciting to be representing Motocaddy as a Brand Ambassador on Tour this season and I can’t wait to get started. Motocaddy has a great reputation for producing top-quality products that make the game easier to play,” said Broadhurst, one of Motocaddy’s Tour team. “I’m looking forward to putting my Motocaddy kit into play and hope that it will give me an edge in competition this year,” he added.

Motocaddy is also supporting every EuroPro Tour event on the 2022 schedule with the winner picking up a brand new S1 electric trolley and PRO 3000 laser rangefinder as a prize.

With direct access to the Challenge Tour through the final Order of Merit, the PGA EuroPro Tour offers players over £840,000 of prize money, with the top five golfers at the end of the season awarded entry to the 2023 Challenge Tour.

A two-hour highlight show on every event will be shown on Sky Sports, DAZN and on 98 networks around the world reaching 500 million homes. In addition, every event is available to watch on-demand in high definition on the Tour’s own YouTube channel and on Matchroom.Live.

Providing vital experience of life on tour, players are competing in 15 events at some of the UK and Ireland’s premier golfing venues. The season culminates with the Tour’s top 60 players contending the Tour Championship taking place in October (19th – 21st) at the Lough Erne Resort in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland.

“The players love the partnership we have with Motocaddy because they love the products,” said Daniel Godding, CEO for the PGA EuroPro Tour. “For us, it’s a long-term association with a premium global brand that provides the perfect fit for our members, so I’m very pleased it’s continuing into a record 17th season.
“I think this year is the perfect year to launch The Brand Ambassador scheme with Motocaddy, as the players will represent the brand brilliantly and hopefully it spurs them on to some great performances,” he added.
