IIOFF International Golf Challenge 2021

We thought that it would be great fun to extend this event to all our OD branches with the first Invest in our Future Foundation (IIOFF) International Golf Challenge!

How it works:

• Make up a fourball and play 18 holes at your local golf course. At least one member of your fourball must be an OD!
• Play your round before 25 October 2021.
• Please contribute an amount equal to or more than your collective green fees for the day to the IIOFF.  
• At the end of the round, combine your scores and email it together with your full contact details and proof of payment to: odu@bishops.org.za. Please also take a photograph of your fourball for the OD website and newsletter.

Irrespective of the course difficulty and stroke, FIVE fourballs will be selected in a lucky draw and will receive a free entry into the OD IIOFF raffle taking place early next year where the prize is entry for the last two days of The 150th Open taking place at the Old Course, St Andrews in Fife, Scotland in July 2022.  

The first IIOFF International Golf Challenge fourball is being led by Simon Burrow (1968F) who will be playing at the Avignon Chateaublanc course in France on 14 October with three other non-ODs. The green fees are 65€ so his team will be donating at least 260€ to the IIOFF. Please join us in not only supporting the IIOFF, but in having some fun as well. 

Kind regards,

The IIOFF Steering Committee
