Macmillan’s Silverspoons Golf Competition is your chance to get your hands on one of the biggest prizes in sport (give or take): our incredible Silver Spoon. Of course,

we don’t give these beauties out to just anyone. You need to be golfing superstar numero uno in your group to claim this prize. So do you have what it takes?

Got the bug?

Enjoyed having fun while raising money for people affected with cancer? Don’t worry, there’s plenty more where that came from.

When you have cancer, you don’t just worry about what will happen to your body, you worry about what will happen to your life. At Macmillan, we know how a cancer diagnosis can affect everything and we’re here to support you through. From help with money worries and advice about work, to someone who’ll listen if you just want to talk, we’ll be there.

We’ll help you make the choices you need to take back control, so you can start to feel like yourself again.

No one should face cancer alone. For support, information or if you just want to chat, call us free on 0808 808 00 00 (Monday to Friday, 9am–8pm) or visit macmillan.org.uk

Thank you so much for taking part in Macmillan’s Silverspoons Golf Competition. As well as being a day of fun and (perhaps) golfing excellence, it’s also a fantastic way to help fund the vital services that support people affected by cancer.

Please remember to keep this handy guide safe as it’s full of tops tips for the making the day a roaring success. It also tells you what you need to do after the last ball rolls into the hole on the 18th green.

Planning the par-fect day

Before the first ball’s been struck

1 Try to club together as many members as possible to take part. If you took part last year, it would be fantastic to try and beat that total this year.

2 Your competition day can be any day up to 31 October 2017, so please choose a day that’s best for everyone and use your poster to let everyone know.

3 Choose an entry fee, which will go towards your club’s donation. As a guide to the difference your donation will make, £203 could fund a Macmillan nurse for a day.

Macmillan’s club rules

A few rules before the fun starts

1 If a member can’t play on your event day, they can play any

day up to 31 October 2017 and have their scores counted.

2 The competition should be played over 18 holes in Stableford or Stroke Play with a full handicap allowance. It can be combined with any medal, Stableford or Stroke Play round.

3 Please mark your scores clearly on the results card found in your pack and send it back to us by 30 November 2017.

4 The men’s and women’s competitions can be run separately, although if you wish to play as a mixed team, that’s fine with us. The clubs that return the best eight scores against par in each category will win the challenge trophy.

5 Once we’ve received your scores and donations, we’ll send you a Macmillan Silver Spoon for you to award to your winner.

Chipping in that little bit extra

While it’s great to get donations for every person that plays, there are plenty of fun ways to drive up donations even more.

1 Hold a longest drive, or nearest the pin, competition and ask each player to pay £1 to enter.

2 Put on a putting competition, perhaps £1 per entry. The person with the lowest number of putts in their round wins half the pot, with the other half going to Macmillan.

3 Engage your grey cells for a quiz. You could even make a real night of it by holding a raffle or auction and getting local businesses to donate prizes.

4 Ask those taking part if their employers will match the amount they raise (some companies offer matched-giving schemes so this isn’t as long a shot as this sounds!)
