2025 Charity Golf Club Partners Peak

In my last post about our golfing charity partnerships I used the words remarkable for the fact that not 1 but 4 golf clubs had decided to support us during their captaincies in 2025. What has turned out to be both remarkable and extraordinary is the captains themselves and their unwavering support for The Chiltern Centre.

I also quoted that they were collectively estimated to raise £60,000 just for the Centre. They have in fact raised more than £70,000 for The Chiltern Centre and almost £100,000 in total with those funds being split between Prostate Cancer UK and Bluebells Day Centre.

To name these superhuman beings again we cannot be more anymore grateful to;

Badgemore Park – Ruth Cassidy

Henley Golf Club – Jeff Ellis and Janet Thompson

Castle Royle – Muriel Quinsac

Huntercombe – Clare Lennon and Ian Whittaker

Each captain hosts multiple events throughout their captains year from a big charity day, to individual captains fun days with fancy dress and quiz sheets, their own tournaments and these extend beyond their own golf clubs to away days as well.

Money is raised mostly through raffles, mulligans (an official way of cheating through paying for an free shot!) and even paying the pro’s to drive for you. All in the name of a good cause.

Our heartfelt congratulations go out to all of the captains, their supporters and in turn our supporters. It has been a year of dedication, a busy inbox and early starts to fit it all in but best of all, it has been a year of fun and joy.

Thank you one and all.
