Golfers from across the South East will be swinging into action at the exclusive Foxhills Golf Club at Ottershaw, Surrey, on Monday 13 May to take part in the annual Golf Day organised by Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS).

The prestigious Foxhills course, known for hosting PGA and EuroPro events, will be the setting for an action-packed day of golf, competitions, awards and some great food and drink. A team of KSS crew members will be taking part and former patient Paul Maycock, whose life was saved by KSS, will be attending.

After breakfast and an opportunity to warm up on the driving range, teams of four will play an 18-hole Stableford competition with live app scoring and competitions such as longest drive, chip to the helmet and nearest to the pin. New for this year will be a `Beat the Captain’ game where players will be challenged to hit the ball further than Foxhills’ Club Captain Ian Howick.

Afterwards they’ll enjoy a two-course lunch back at the clubhouse and hear from KSS Dr Malcolm Tunnicliffe who will deliver a talk on ‘thriving under pressure’, offering invaluable insights for those keen on enhancing team dynamics in the workplace. Golfers will also hear more about the lifesaving team at KSS and how they bring specialised doctors, paramedics and treatment to the scene, fast. And they don’t stop 24/7, 365 days a year.
