St Andrew's Day Championships

St Andrews Gold CourseThe St Andrews Day Championships offer a unique opportunity for the club golfer to enjoy a fun competition at St Andrews- The Home of Golf and is a celebration of St Andrew the patron saint of Scotland and of Golfers.

The Championships are an autumn or winter pairs competition run in conjunction with the Sportsman’s Charity and in 2008/9, our 9th year, we are seeking to raise funds for Help for Heroes. Participating clubs hold a St Andrews Day Foursomes competition on or around November 30th - St Andrews Day – and send their Winners to St Andrews. Open to Men’s, Ladies or Mixed teams.

We hope that whilst enjoying the camaraderie of the great game of golf - clubs will take the opportunity of the occasion to try and raise funds, however large or small, for Help for Heroes.
