The event, which takes place on the highest golf course in England, is open to two-player teams of men or women of any age. Entry costs £20 per team.
Last year’s tournament raised £5,000, and organisers are hoping to surpass that total this year.
The cause is particularly close to the golfing community. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, with more than 52,000 diagnoses every year in the UK – the equivalent of 144 men each day.
One in eight men will be diagnosed in their lifetime, with rates increasing significantly after the age of 50.
The most common age for diagnosis is between 70 and 74.
Golf clubs have a key role to play in raising awareness. Nearly two-thirds of members are over the age of 50, a third are over 61, and three-quarters are male – putting many directly in the at-risk group.
Organisers say signing up to play is not only a great value day out, but also a simple way to support a vital cause.
