Scotland Charity Golf Final
The Business Fours National Final event provides the opportunity to make new connections in a relaxed environment on the golf course. Teams of four come along to the event and your team can be made up of colleagues, clients or business connections.
The format will be a 4 ball aggregate Stableford i.e. the combined Stableford score of the 4 members of your team will be your score. There are no maximum handicaps for players with an official club handicap but a maximum of 18 will be allocated to those without.
PLAY FOR YOUR CHOSEN CHARITY
Through Business Fours, Scotland’s National business golf tournament, we are maintaining our commitment to donating 10% of revenue to charity and this will be donated to the chosen charity of the overall winning team.
All golfers and companies getting involved will be encouraged to fundraise for their chosen charities in the build up to the events and we’ll have charity fundraising activities on the day. Since launching over 6 years ago our events have raised over £325,000 for charity. It is a great opportunity to fundraise for your chosen charity in advance of the events and with any luck you might win our donation.
Scotland Charity Golf Final Hole in One
Prizes will also be on offer for the best 4-ball on the day as well as nearest the pin, longest putt and longest drive competitions. Players will have the chance to win £10,000 for their chosen charity should they hit a hole in one at the National Final.
The highest Stableford scoring team at the national final will win a donation for their chosen charity.

Favourite Golfing Memory: Watching the “Miracle at Medinah” in the Ryder Cup in 2012. For team Europe to have all but lost the match, and come back from 10 to 6 down, to win 14 ½ to 13 ½ was incredible. Ian Poulter played out his skin winning every match during the tournament.
Favourite Golf course: Gleneagles Queen’s Course. Having played all courses at the Gleneagles Village, the Queen’s course for me strikes a nice balance between difficulty and being a really enjoyable course to play. The 13th and 14th are two beautiful holes, especially on a sunny day.
Reason for getting involved in Business Fours: This opportunity gives everyone a great chance to support a local Charity, and in addition, it gives businesses a great chance to meet.
