We’re delighted to, once again, collaborate with the Volvo National Club Challenge, the UK’s largest amateur charity golf competition, supporting and helping members of the Armed Forces through the Help for Heroes Charity.
Last year’s event was a great success and Sunset Beach Club was delighted to contribute by donating a fantastic 3 night winter break as one of the prizes. This year, in addition to the actual golf challenge, the Volvo National Club Challenge has set up an auction page on their website (http://nationalgolfclubchallenge.org.uk/auction/index.php ) with some fantastic holidays and breaks for people to bid on.

We’re very pleased to announce our collaboration with the National Golf Club Challenge which will take place in the UK on the 4th and 5th June 2011.
The idea for The Challenge was born out of a desire to assist the Help for Heroes charity in the UK. Set up in 2007, the charity helps wounded soldiers returning home from combat.
The National Golf Club Challenge allows golfers throughout the UK to come together on one specific weekend and combine their love for golf with a show of support for injured service men and women. The idea is that participating clubs hold their own charity golf day (4th & 5th June 2010) to raise funds for Help for Heroes (last year over 400 clubs took part in the challenge!). Each club that participates will then return their top ten stableford scores from their challenge day; these scores will count as the club’s official aggregate score. The six top scoring clubs in the UK will then battle it out at a spectacular two day final event.
The Lee Westwood Cup
The main aim of the challenge is to raise funds for the Help for Heroes charity; however, participating clubs will also have the chance to compete for the coveted National Golf Club Challenge Trophy; the Lee Westwood Cup.
Top teams will also have the added incentive of being able to win some great prizes, all donated by participating partners. This is where Sunset Beach Club and our sister resort La Cala have collaborated; donating a one week stay at Sunset Beach Club and 3 rounds of golf for 10 golfers.
This years challenge – the first ever – was an astounding success. To date, organizers have managed to raise 202,273 pounds and counting! So that’s the target to beat for the 2011 event…… we’ll certainly continue to support this remarkable initiative.
