Golf fans are being offered the chance to play some of the world’s most prestigious courses – including the highly exclusive, invitation-only Oakmont, Indian Creek and Winged Foot clubs in the United States – as part of the University of Stirling’s annual Golf Auction.
Prestigious lots – available to view on the auction website – also include rounds at Augusta Country Club, Gleneagles, Royal Portrush, Turnberry and Sunningdale.
The auction – now in its second year – supports the high-performance golf programme at the University of Stirling, Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence. The programme is recognised as one of the most attractive destinations for student golfers in Europe, with many of its athletes going on to compete in the professional game.
David Bond, Director of Performance Sport at the University of Stirling, said: “Our golf auction is back bigger and better than before, with a number of premium lots available to bidders. We have rounds at some of the world’s best courses available, including exclusive private members’ clubs both here in the UK and abroad. This is an excellent opportunity for groups of friends to come together to book a round of a lifetime, or to treat the golf enthusiasts in your life to an exclusive experience.”
He added: “Proceeds from the auction are re-invested into the University’s high-performance golf programme, which continues to nurture the next generation of golfing talent here at Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence.”
The Golf Auction is now live [from 12 noon BST on Friday 26 September] and runs until 8pm (BST) on Sunday 5 October – view lots (including terms and conditions) and place your bids on the website now.
