Philpy's Scramble

Philpy's Scramble Last June we played 100 holes of golf in a day to raise money for brain tumour research in honour of Alain Philp.

This year’s golf day & evening event aims to raise awareness & more funds. In memory of their dad Alain, Harry and Freddie Philp, along with 10 friends from Lightcliffe Golf Club, are undertaking a 100 hole golf challenge on Friday 20 June to raise money for a charity that aims to improve outcomes for people living with brain cancer, Brain Tumour Focus. In a single day, they will each be attempting to play 100 holes, 11 rounds, plus one hole, at Lightcliffe, that's over 20 miles walked over a hilly course, taking 400+ golf swings. This marathon day of golf will start at first light with an anticipated final 100th tee off, down the 1st, for all players just before dusk. The aim is to help to raise the funds needed to buy a portable MRI scanner which will be available to inform the treatment of brain tumour patients in our region at Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust. This will make a huge difference to many people's lives, and ultimately better outcomes for those with an indiscriminate disease that currently has a very low survival rate. Children presently have to go through the terrifying ordeal of an MRI scan without their parents, and patients have agonising weeks to wait for MRI scans to get results following surgery, this ultra-low field portable MRI scanner will change that. Did you know: Brain cancer kills more under 40s and children than any other, yet receives just 1% of cancer funding nationally. We want to help Brain Tumour Focus initially with sourcing this special MRI scanner, and then their next goal is to help fund much needed research. Raising awareness is a huge part of the 100 hole challenge, so thank you just for taking the time to read our post. If you would like to support the team with sponsorship and make a difference to the life chances of the many unfortunate people facing this devastating disease, please make a donation if you can here and include in your message 'Donating in support of the Philpy's 100 hole challenge team ' for reference: https://gofund.me/5120709f

The results are in! Philpy’s Scramble was a fantastic day of golf and celebratory evening, raising just over A WHOPPING £10,000 with your support. Thank you! 🙏

The day was incredibly well supported by family, friends, volunteers, sponsors and the local community. We couldn’t have done it without everyone that contributed by donating either money, raffle or auctions prizes, entering the 23 teams of 92 players, buying pink shirts, attending during the day or evening event, and buying raffle tickets to support us.

A special thank you also to Lightcliffe Golf Club for hosting, and our very generous sponsors;

Reward Funding
Brook’s Restaurant & Bar
Falconer Print and Packaging
Along with Lightcliffe Golf Club’s Wednesday Nighters, The Tree Huggers Tour and John Stead.

Big shout out to our winning team of golfers who were delighted to be presented with their prizes along with the almost prestigious and possibly now coveted, pink jackets. Well done! 🏆

Congratulations also go to Harry Philp on getting a hole in one ⛳️ what a day! Playing in a team with his brother Freddie, Harry hit a surreal shot on the 10th, making his hole in one from the tee in front of the clubhouse. Emotional scenes and celebrations followed the initial disbelief as the ball went in.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Philpy's charity golf events over the past 2 years. Funds raised will support the charity Brain Tumour Focus and the campaign to help fund the UK’s first portable MRI scanner, an incredible cause - all in memory of Alain Philp.

The countdown is on for Philipy’s Scramble - and the support so far has been amazing. 💙

With only FOUR morning team slots left, we’d encourage anyone thinking of entering to get signed up as soon as possible before they’re gone!

We’re also delighted to announce that local favourites 🎶 Z List 🎶 will be providing the evening’s entertainment - playing all your favourite covers and helping us round off what promises to be a brilliant day both on and off the course.

Every penny raised will support Brain Tumour Focus and the campaign to help fund the UK’s first portable MRI scanner - an incredible cause.

🎁 We’re still looking for raffle prize donations, so if you or your business can help in any way, please get in touch. Every contribution makes a huge difference.

🤝 Offered sponsorship
🙌 Volunteered to help
🎟 Supported the event behind the scenes

After last year’s amazing 100 Hole Challenge raised over £35,000 - helping take the overall fundraising total beyond £100,000 - we’re determined to make this year another huge success in support of Brain Tumour Focus.

Please remember, all money raised will help to secure the UK’s first dedicated mobile MRI scanner...to be based in Leeds, treating patients from across the region.

But we still need more support.

We’re looking for:

⛳ More teams to enter - last few places!!! (£240 per team of four - food, halfway house and prizes).
🤝 Additional sponsors
🙌 Volunteers to help on the day
🎁 Prize donations for the raffle

This may be a different event this year, but it’s the same incredible cause - and still all in memory of Alain.

With entertainment planned in the evening and places already filling up, we’d love more people to get involved and help us make another real difference.

⛳ SAVE THE DATE – Friday 19th June ⛳

Last year’s incredible 100 Hole Challenge showed exactly what 'community' is all about, raising an amazing £35,000+ in support of an incredible cause.

Thanks to the continued generosity and support from so many people across many other events and campaigns, the overall fundraising total has now surpassed £100,000.

This is amazing, but there is still more to do to help secure the purchase of what will be the first mobile MRI scanner of its kind in the UK...to be based in Leeds!!

This year will be a different event, but for the same incredible cause, and still proudly in memory of Alain.

To involve even more golfers, this year’s format will be a 'Texas Scramble', with a limit of just 24 teams taking part.

🏌️ Open to both members and non-members (official handicap required).

⏰ Morning and afternoon slots available.

📍 £240 per team of four, including food, halfway house and prizes.

Interest is building and places are already beginning to book up, so don’t leave it too late.

We’re also looking for:
✅ Sponsors
✅ Raffle prizes
✅ Volunteers to help on the day

🎶 There will also be evening entertainment to round off what promises to be another fantastic day at the club.

We’d love as many people as possible to get behind another memorable event both on and off the course.

📩 DM us for more information or team registration details.
