Charity

Our nominated charity this year is Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) to help support Nick Tucker’s efforts to raise money for the charity during the year of his captaincy of St George’s Hill Golf Club.  Nick, as CEO of Waverton Investment Management, has been a great supporter of this competition in recent years so I am only too happy to help him with his cause this year.

This is what Nick had to say about CRY: -

CRY is a fantastic charity, based in Leatherhead and tackles an issue that has sadly impacted a number of families of St George’s Hill members. Ollie Tucker, the son of my older brother, passed away on the hockey pitch from a previously undetected heart condition 15 years ago in his first term at Oxford. So thank you for helping me to raise funds for this worthy cause.

25% of entry fees directed will go directly to CRY and Waverton Investment Management will again be kindly donating an additional £2,000.

I am really hoping we can reach a new record total for this Masters competition. Please do spread the word amongst your friends and family!
