Taunton & Pickeridge Golf Club will be hosting their 32nd Charity Pro-Am 2024 on Friday 12th July, and there are still a few tee times remaining!
This event is one of the highlights of the T&P golfing year with 40 professional golfers from the South-West competing for a substantial prize fund.
Teams consist of any combination of three amateurs – men’s, ladies, mixed – and a PGA Professional.
All teams compete for the amateurs' prize table and there are many nearest the pins to play for.
The Pro-Am is an opportunity for club captain, Mike Robinson, and ladies’ captain, Emma Smith, to raise funds for their chosen charity, Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance.
The service provided by DSAA is 95 per cent funded by charitable giving and, with each mission costing approximately £3,500, our local air ambulance charity, a vital part of the community, relies on public support.
Application forms for team entry are available from the club office (01823 421537) or can be downloaded from the club website, so don’t delay, apply today to avoid disappointment.
