Golf Highland is inviting their members to register their current men’s and women’s champions for the all-star event for the Willie MacKay Cup on Sunday, March 29.
And fundraising on the day will benefit the Highland Hospice.
“This is the second year of the competition, and we are delighted with the support we are enjoying from the Kings Club, which is a superb venue, and general manager Graham Ramsay,” said Neil Hampton, chair of the Golf Highland cooperative, which includes community clubs and renowned courses at Royal Dornoch, Nairn and Cabot Highlands.
“The only cost to our member clubs for sending their champions to participate in this region-wide, prestigious event is a modest fee to cover the cost of breakfast and lunch.
“We are aiming to surpass the £300-plus sum raised last year through the raffle and other fundraising activities for the Highland Hospice.”
