Prostate Cancer UK
Prostate Cancer UK
We’re delighted to be partnering with Prostate Cancer UK, the leading men’s health organisation. You may be aware of their work or seen their “Man of Men” badge on TV, it’s prominent in the world of football and now we’re helping them make their iconic logo as famous in the world of golf. Prostate Cancer UK’s “Man of Men” badge represents everyone in the fight against prostate cancer – the most common cancer in men.
Supporting Prostate Cancer UK
Prostate cancer exists in every golf club in the UK. We’re supporting Prostate Cancer UK, because we want to work with a charity aiming to beat a disease which significantly affects our members.
Prostate cancer kills one man every 45 minutes, the same time on average that it takes to play three holes of golf. The disease is the most common cancer among men, with the disease often not showing any early symptoms, and with currently no national screening programme.
How to Get Involved
Here are three easy ways you can get involved straight away:
- Spend 30 seconds checking your own risk using the Prostate Cancer UK Risk Checker
- Share the Risk Checker with your friends
- Visit prostatecanceruk.org/golf to find out more about their work in the sport we love, and join their Facebook group ‘The Prostate Cancer UK golf society’ to meet like minded golfers
You can also help to raise funds by making a small donation to Prostate Cancer UK when you join or renew your PlayMoreGolf membership.
Over the coming weeks and months as we get back to normality on and off the golf course we’ll be talking about our plans with Prostate Cancer UK from ensuring you are fully aware of the risks of the disease, introducing some of their fundraising activities like The Big Golf Race and showing you how you can directly contribute.
