We are very pleased to announce that former Ryder Cup winner and much loved BBC golf commentator Sam Torrance is to patron the National Golf Club Challenge.

Sam won the Ryder Cup as both a player in 1985 – pictured above having holed the winning putt on the 18th green at The Belfry – and then again in 2002 as the European Team Captain.

The National Golf Club Challenge, on course to becoming the biggest amateur golf charity event the UK has seen, will be held on 24th and 25th July 2010. Every golf club in the United Kingdom and Ireland is invited to enter their club in to The National Golf Club Challenge, in aid of Help for Heroes.

The event will unite hundreds of golf clubs and thousands of golfers in demonstrating their support for our injured armed forces. As well as raising a lot of money for the Help for Heroes charity, golfers will compete for some outstanding prizes, including golfing holidays to Egypt.

Sam Torrance
“I'm delighted that golf clubs up and down the country are supporting the National Golf Club Challenge in July 2010. It's one of the most worthy causes I can think of. We take for granted the job that service men and women do day in, day out, to protect us, often in the toughest of conditions.

“Hopefully this challenge will make us all stop and take a few moments to think about their dedication and selflessness, and show some support and thanks for the great job that they do.”
