Why did it start

To introduce businesses to the work of the Hospice and to raise some funds.

Now it is about raising much needed funds and at the same time enjoying ourselves.

Last year we raised £30,000 and I am hopeful that with one event to go we will top that this year!

How do you select which courses to play

Over the years we have changed the courses but we play those that look after us and are in great condition

Tandridge has been a regular for all the years that we have played but now we have four others too that we have played annually for some time – Hever Castle, Woodcote Park, Mannings Heath and Betchworth Park
