What is The National Golf Club Challenge?
The National Golf Club Challenge is a charity golf day on a scale never seen before. The aim is to bring golf clubs throughout the UK together on the same weekend (24th & 25th July 2010) to hold hundreds of charity golf days – and compete to win some spectacular golf prizes.

Ten golfers from the top six scoring clubs will be invited to play in The Grand Final in October, which will be held over two days at one of the UKs premier golfing venues, The Belfry, four times host to the Ryder Cup.

The Challenge has received celebrity endorsements from Gary Linekar, Gabby Logan, Chris Hollins and Jodie Kidd, to name a few.

European Tour golfers such as Ian Poulter have also sent messages of support, recently including Nick Dougherty.

“Help the Heroes is a charity close to all of our hearts, the service men and women risking their lives every day are unsung heroes and the National Golf Club Challenge is a great way to raise money for those injured at war.

“The Challenge gives us all a chance to do our bit to help our injured heroes and I urge you to enter your team now.”

About Help for Heroes
Help for Heroes was the idea of appeal chairman Bryn Parry and a group of friends and relations. They wanted to help wounded soldiers returning home from combat and came up with several fundraising ideas which led to Help for Heroes being born.

The Charity are completely non political and accept wars happen under any government, all they want to do with the help of the British public, is to assist our wounded heroes. Find out more at www.helpforheroes.org.uk.
