How to Enter

You simply need to choose 6 golfers to play the 18‑hole Royal Birkdale course for you. If they play well, you could win the big prize!

Entries must be submitted by 10pm on Wednesday 15th July.

Prize Fund

A fixed prize fund of £8,000 is up for grabs including £2,000 for the best (lowest scoring) entry. The remainder will be spread over a number of other prizes — see website for details. Only 1 prize per entry is permitted.

Free to Enter

The competition is free to enter but we invite you to make a contibution towards our fund raising efforts, in aid of LOROS Hospice and Thames Hospice. We have raised £119,000 for various charities since 2019.

If you would prefer not to make a donation, you can enter for free with the same chance of winning as anyone else. If you would like to make a free entry please click HERE

How to Enter (with a donation) Using the Entry Form

1. Click the Enter Here link on the website and complete the form with your details.
2. Choose 6 golfers from the list. Each golfer has an assigned rating — the total of your golfers' ratings must not exceed 25.
3. Nominate 3 holes for each of your 6 golfers. You must select each hole on the course once and once only.
4. The entry form contains options to randomise your entry if you wish.
5. Once you have made your donation and submitted your entry, you will receive a confirmation email with a confidential link to your selections on the website. Your selections will only be visible to all once the deadline has passed.
6. Payment is via credit/debit card. No other payment options are available.

Random Entry

You can pick all your golfers and select the holes yourself, but we also offer two types of random entry:

• a random choice of holes, or
• a fully random selection of both golfers and holes.

These options are available directly in the entry form. You can mix and match across multiple entries.

Editing Your Entry

• You can change your entry at any point up to the deadline using the Entry Changes link on the website.
• If one of your selected golfers withdraws before his tee off time and you don't have time to change your entry, he will be replaced by the next available golfer of the same rating (in alphabetical order).

Keeping Score

• Your scorecard will be viewable on the website throughout the competition.
• Your score over the 4 rounds reflects how your selected golfers play their nominated holes.
• Golfers who miss the cut at the halfway stage (after Round 2) will score bogeys for the final two rounds.
• If a golfer retires hurt after starting play, he will score pars on the remaining holes.
• If a golfer is disqualified for any reason after starting play, he will score bogeys on the remaining holes.
• You will receive email alerts when your golfers' holes affect your score, including ranking updates — but you can opt out of this on the entry form.

Mini Leagues

• There will be a leaderboard showing all entries but you can also join or set up a mini league.
• You can create and join mini leagues using the links on the website.

Prizes & Charity

• The Jeff Keen Charity Challenge is non‑profit.
• I may submit a paid entry — if I win, the winnings go to the charities. This did happen once before!

You Are Ready!

Good luck!
Jeff
