Golfers raise £120,000 for air ambulance at popular annual tournament
Secretary Clive Evans is "hugely proud" of the participants and said the charity held a special place in their hearts. He said: 'Our link with Wales Air Ambulance goes way back to the very start of the South Wales Golf Classic." The first event was held in 2003 at Maesteg Golf Club when 32 clubs entered. Mr Evans, who has been a member of the South Wales Golf Classic committee for six years, said: "It's an honour to organise golf events knowing that all the money raised is going towards helping save someone's life. 'Not many people know how much time and effort it takes to organise these events, they obviously just show up and play golf. But they do come up to me, to say thank you and do appreciate it.' The final of this year's event is on August 20 at St Pierre, near Chepstow. Mr Evans is already planning for the 2026 season. Christian Sullivan, regional fundraising manager for South West Wales, said: 'The South Wales Golf Classic have been incredible supporters of the Wales Air Ambulance for over 22 years. 'I know from speaking with its members what it means to be able to fundraise for us as our team has attended several golfers who have suffered health episodes whilst on the course during that time. 'We are grateful once again for their generous support this season and wish all those competing in the South Wales Golf Classic and the Claret Jug, every success."
