Repeated info for newer members:

This series has been running for a few years and comprises a monthly fourball better ball match between Andrew Jowett (Gleneagles Director of Golf) and the Captain, against two challengers from the club membership. Strokes are taken in accordance with normal match play rules, and AJ plays off scratch.

The purpose of the series is to have fun and to raise a modest amount for charity. The losing pair pays £25 (or more if they wish!), and I ask that donations be made directly to the chosen charity so that Gift Aid may be added where applicable. I have chosen Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) as the charity to receive the funds. The eagle-eyed among you will note that this is the same charity Frank selected in 2024, but it is also a cause close to my own heart. Having helped with a fundraiser last year, I was invited to visit Rachel House in Kinross and was able to see the fantastic support that CHAS provides for sick children and their families.

Best regards,
Daley
