SSAFA’s tee time at Southerndown Golf Club

18 January 2024

Southerndown Golf Club at Ogmore-by-Sea will again be the venue for the Wales Charity Golf Day for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.

The tourney – to take place on Tuesday, June 11 at the downland/links course – is for teams made up of four players with two scores for each hole being counted. There are prizes for Nearest the Pin at the seventh hole and for the Longest Drive at the 15th.

Tee times are from 8am until 1pm, and there will be free bacon rolls, tea, and coffee on arrival. The prize-giving ceremony begins at around 5pm.

Annie Lawrie, SSAFA’s Regional Fundraising Officer for Wales, said: “We’re so grateful to Southerndown Golf Club for hosting this day for SSAFA. Thousands of pounds have been raised for SSAFA over the years at this charity golf day, which have gone a long way to ensuring that SSAFA can continue to provide support to the Armed Forces’ community – whether serving, veterans, or their families – just as it has done since 1885.

“Southerndown is a wonderful championship course, and while I look forward to a very competitive standard of play, those taking part know the value of the cause they’re playing for, and I also expect some good-natured banter from the teams.”

Entry fees for Southerndown Golf Club members are £20 per person as a donation to SSAFA, while for non-members the fee is £50 per person (£20 donation to SSAFA and £30 green fees specially reduced from £65 for the event).
