Will Sturgess, Brand Manager at American Golf said; “The work of On Course Foundation is a vital component in the rehabilitation of so many servicemen and women.

We are proud to have supported the charity over several years, and along with our customers to have helped bring the game of golf and its many health benefits to such an inspiring group of people.

The Christmas Raffle is our last push for 2019 and with the help of the nation’s golfers we hope to help On Course Foundation deliver its rehabilitation programme to more people than ever before in 2020.”

The tickets will be available to purchase from stores from November 25th to the 31st of December (or until they run out). The draw will take place on the 14th of January 2020.
