Beatson Bunker is an initiative for golf clubs across Scotland.
The aim of the game is simple… choose a bunker (ideally the biggest one that most people land in) and anyone who lands in the bunker has the forfeit of making a donation of your choice - anything from £1-£10! A dedicated charity can will then be placed either in the clubhouse, bar and/or pro-shop.
This fun initiative is to help raise awareness of Beatson Cancer Charity within local clubs and help raise some vital funds for people living with cancer across the west of Scotland.
Beatson Bunker is such a simple way to support Beatson Cancer Charity, but every penny makes a difference to us. There is no cost to the club and no maintenance required, we will provide you with your plaque (see above), a dedicated collection can for the clubhouse or pro-shop, and a poster which provides guidance to your members and visitors. As more donations are made online we can track the donations from your club.
This is just one way your club can work with us and could consider come of the following challenges:
