The world's leading players will tee off on the outskirts of Inverness next month for the Scottish Open and today, Action for Children have been appointed as the official charity for the prestigious event.
An interesting initiative from Barclay Capital will see the charity benefit from donations worth £10 for every birdie, £50 for every eagle, and £100 for every albatross scored across each day of the 4-day tournament.
With an average of 1,500 birdies and 35 eagles per tournament to date on the European Tour this year, the initiative could see Action for Children receive up to £20,000 worth of donations from Barclay Capital alone. The initiative has also been extended to allow other organisations and individuals to complete a pledge form donating as little or as much as they like per birdie.
This initiative coupled with the various hospitality fundraising activities AFC have planned over the weekend, not to mention the 50,000 fans attending the event dropping change into boxes, could make for a very successful 4 day weekend for the charity.
