Sunrise to Sunset Golf Challenge

It’s a golf challenge to raise money for Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care. We’re asking you to chip in for your local Hospice and go this distance this summer to tackle either 36 or 72 holes in one day.

Choose between:

• Golf Marathon – 4 rounds, 72 holes, 26 miles
• Golf Half Marathon – 2 rounds, 36 holes, 13 miles

The date of the challenge is up to you, but we recommend doing the challenge over the longer summer days – to give you enough hours of daylight to get around them all.

We recommend contacting your nearest golf course explaining that you’re raising money for Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care by taking part in the Sunrise to Sunset Golf Challenge. We can provide you with a Letter of Authority form to support you in contacting the course – email community.fundraising@renniegrovepeace.org

There’s no registration fee, but we ask you to raise £1000 in sponsorship per fourball, (£250 per person) if you’re taking on the Golf Marathon. Or £700 in sponsorship per fourball, (£175 per person) if you’re taking on the Golf Half Marathon. It’s down to the golf club you arrange your day with whether they waiver or reduce any fees, and if they’ll provide a golf buggy if needed.

We recommend setting up a Just Giving page to raise your sponsorship.

Golf Marathon: We ask you to raise a minimum of £250 each (so £1000 per team). £1000 could pay for a Healthcare Assistant for six days, in our Inpatient Unit or in a patient’s home, to help with personal care.

Golf Half Marathon: We ask you to raise a minimum of £175 each (so £700 per team). £700 could pay for a physiotherapist for three days, in our Inpatient Unit or in a patient’s home, to help manage symptoms and aid relaxation.

Well done on getting your company to match your donation! To help us to track your matched donation, get in touch with the community team at community.fundraising@renniegrovepeace.org  or call on 01442 89 02 22, with the details.

Yes, they can! However, any team with members under 18 years old must have at least one parent or guardian in the same team to undertake the challenge. It must also be agreed with the Golf Club in advance.

It’s entirely up to you. The Rennie Grove Peace Sunrise to Sunset Challenge is primarily about completing the challenge to raise money for your local Hospice.

To save time, we recommend that you play off the forward tees.

We think that for the best possible experience (and challenge) you should take on your race by foot. However, we understand that in certain circumstances a buggy is necessary to complete the race.
