Seniors' Opens September - December 2022

Royal British Legion Golf

Every year thousands of golfers take part, at their Clubs, in a special event to mark Remembrance - or at other times of the year. This year sees the 40th anniversary of the Falklands campaign, in June.

 If your Club currently takes part please join in to support those who signed-up to defend our country but may now need our help. Or lobby for the Club to join in. Each player receives a special souvenir and the winners in each Club receive a special medal. There are also flags available for one or more of your greens. Take a look at our special page in this website or email - peter.poppygolf@gmail.com
