A few months ago I decided to organise a golf charity match for Children in Need. I just thought that it would be a good thing to do, and that a lot of people might enjoy it. I work in a big call centre, so I? Knew there would be plenty of takers. As people started to sign up, I realised that it was going to be a big success. The local club had agreed to contribute by allowing us to play for free, and I was taking ten pounds for people to play, which would go towards the charity.
I wanted to make things fun for people, so I found a company called www.afordawards.co.uk who could put together some great Crystal Golf Trophies for me. Because the company offered trophies with free engraving I could make sure that they were all for something different. I had one which was for the overall winner on the day, I had one for the longest drive which was measured on the long par 5 on the back nine, and I had a closest to the pin trophy which was held on a very short, but very tricky par three.
The whole day was a great success, and there was a lot of competition for the trophies! People were really going for it on the longest drive hole, and we had someone hit just over 300 yards! There was such a great feeling throughout the day, and by the time everyone had gone round in their foursomes, we had collected nearly a thousand pounds! It was great to be able to give so much to the charity, and it was great to make it such a fun event! The trophies added a bit of sparkle to the affair, and I’m sure we’ll all want to do it again next year!

Have you ever sat and thought about how you might help out your community a little bit? Sure, a lot of people think about ways in which they can help but most of them do not wind up doing anything at all when it comes down to it. If you want to stand a apart from those people you have to actually do something and not just dream about it. There are a number of things you can do to give back to your community. Some of those things cost money and others will just cost a little bit of your time. Once of the best ways to give to your community is to focus on the elderly. They do not always have anyone to go and see about them. Many of them sit in assisted living facilities or retirement homes virtually rotting away and waiting to die. You can make a major difference in someone’s life by just being there. However, if it is time you do not have but you have a little bit of extra money, you might thinking about looking for cheap golf carts for sale and donating one.
Elderly people love scooting around on golf carts and this is a great way to help brighten their day. You can be the difference between them sitting and staring at the wall or getting out and finding a little bit of enjoyment. Golf carts are perfect for the elderly as they do not go extremely fast yet they still allow them a nice sense of mobility. A good way to find inexpensive used golf carts is to check out the internet and see what kind of prices you can find. Just try to imagine what it would be like to be stuck in a retirement facility with no transportation to even go up and down the beach. Chances are you can see how much of a difference a golf cart would make for someone like that.
