Veterans Can… Golf
Our annual fundraiser is never about the golf – it’s about the people, the positivity and for some, it’s about the prizes! But most of all it’s about the good that’s enabled by the funds raised.
About the Events
2024: The Belfry
In Oct 2024, the Veterans Can… team hosted our inaugural fundraising event at the world-renowned Belfry Golf Resort to raise funds “Veterans Can… Deliver: The Fallen of Afghanistan”.
It was a fantastic day where we welcomed 18 teams representing corporate organisations, charities, our sponsors, the Veterans Can… community, Regimental associations, and others, who played in unseasonally pleasant sunshine on the PGA National Course. Additionally, we gifted entry to teams from the Royal Hospital Chelsea and the Royal British Legion to demonstrate collaboration and a desire to reinforce our new message to those who have represented Veterans for many years.
After an excellent round, the winners were the team from CBRE/IWS captained by Calvin Lockyer, with IEM coming second and Building Heroes third. At the conclusion of the golf, all teams enjoyed a drink in the 19th, a great meal and further activities focused on reaching our fundraising target in support of “Veterans Can… Deliver: The Fallen of Afghanistan.”
Thank you to all sponsors, players, supporters and everyone who made the 2024 Veterans Can… Golf possible – see you next year!.
2025: The Belfry
The second iteration of Veterans Can… Golf was held, once again, at the Belfry on a fine day in September and we welcomed another 18 teams from the corporate world, military associations, the Veteran Golf Association, charities, sponsors, and members of the Veterans Can… community.
This year’s winners were “The Dukes” whose score was bolstered by a hole-in-one on the 3rd by Ian “Locky” Lockwood. The longest drive competitions were won by Neil Williams and Jess Linge with Gerwyn Taylor taking out the straightest drive competition and Steve Jones winning nearest the pin.
It was a great day and special thanks must go to our main sponsors PXG who provided some amazing prizes and the Powder Monkey Brewing Company, who distributed some enjoyable (and for many, much needed) refreshments on the 6th tee!
The golf, raffle, auction and celebration of Veteranism were a great success and we look forward to doing it all again in 2026.
