Phegsdann Charity Golf Day Q&A

1. How did the Phegsdann Charity Golf Day idea come about?

The Phegsdann Charity Golf Day began with a simple chat in a pub between myself and two friends, Jamie and Phill. We wanted to combine our love of golf with fundraising for good causes. The plan was to create an annual charity golf event supporting a different charity each year. For our first event, we chose The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity in memory of Phill’s sister, who received exceptional care there before she passed away.

2. How successful was the first Phegsdann Charity Golf Day?

Our first event was a great success. The weather was perfect, and everyone enjoyed a brilliant day of golf and fundraising. Guests arrived to breakfast before heading out for 18 holes at Hampton Court Palace Golf Club. After the round, a two-course dinner was served on the clubhouse patio, followed by the trophy presentation and a raffle. Many guests stayed long into the evening, enjoying drinks and celebrating together, which showed how well the day went.

3. How many golfers took part in the event?

We welcomed around 65 golfers on the day, with an additional five guests attending to spectate and join in the evening fun.

4. How did participants respond to the branded golf tees?

The branded golf tees were very well received. Each golfer picked up a handful from the display at check-in, alongside additional tees kindly provided by The Royal Marsden. It was a small but thoughtful detail that gave the day a polished, professional feel.

5. How were the branded umbrellas received as prizes?

Fortunately, the umbrellas were not needed for rain, but they made fantastic prizes for both the competition winners and the raffle draw. Golf umbrellas are essential for any UK golfer, and the quality of those supplied by hotline™ was excellent. Featuring our logo, they added a touch of professionalism and ensured the Phegsdann brand will be seen far beyond the event. We now have golfers across the country proudly using them.

6. How did branded merchandise add value to the event?

The branded tees and umbrellas added real value by creating a sense of professionalism and unity. Attention to small details makes participants feel appreciated and leaves a lasting impression. These items also helped enhance the overall event experience and reinforced our branding throughout the day.

7. Were you happy with the fundraising results for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity?

We were delighted with the outcome. As our first event, we viewed it as a learning opportunity, but we are proud to have raised over £4,500 for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. It is a fantastic achievement and a strong foundation for future events.

8. Will there be future Phegsdann Charity Golf Days?

Yes, absolutely. We plan for the Phegsdann Charity Golf Day to become an annual tradition. After a short break, we will begin organising the next event, and many attendees have already asked for the 2026 date. Promotional products play an important role, and we will definitely look to work with hotline™ again to maintain that professional standard.

9. How important is branding for charity golf events?

Branding is essential for creating a professional and memorable experience. With social media showcasing every moment, strong branding helps raise awareness and ensures your event stands out. Personalised items, consistent visuals and thoughtful design all help to elevate an event, and that is exactly what happened with Phegsdann.

10. Would you recommend hotline™ for event sponsorship and promotional support?

Definitely. Our experience with hotline™ was outstanding. Their generous sponsorship and high-quality branded products helped make our first event a success and contributed directly to the funds raised for charity. We would highly recommend partnering with hotline™ to any organisation seeking meaningful support and professional promotional items.
