Golfers, corporate bodies and supporters of the sport will converge on the Golf Section of Ikoyi Club 1938 on Friday to vie for honours in the Caledonian Charity Cup, which is returning to the club.

Organised by the Lagos Caledonian Society (LCS), the 18-hole charity golf tournament, according to the organisers, aims to raise funds for charitable initiatives and worthy causes.

This year’s net proceeds will be donated directly to Foster Paradise Homes, a Lagos State-registered orphanage dedicated to caring for orphans, abandoned children, and vulnerable young people across urban and rural communities.

The return of the Caledonian Charity Cup to Ikoyi Club 1938 reflects the longstanding Scottish tradition of harnessing sport, community and fellowship to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

In a show of enthusiasm and commitment to the charitable cause, 25 teams have registered to participate in this year’s competition. Each team bears the name of a Scottish town or location with golfing connections, celebrating Scotland’s rich golfing heritage.

Participating teams include Team Milngavie, Gullane, Carnoustie, Traigh, Aberdour, Dundee, North Berwick, Lossiemouth, Cruden Bay, Musselburgh, Askernish, Kirkcudbright, Shiskine, Auchterarder, Dalmahoy, Dornoch, Machrie, Lundin Links, Powfoot, Machrihanish, Monifieth, Kilspindie, and Blairgowrie.

The tournament will adopt a shotgun start format, enabling teams to compete simultaneously across the course in a friendly yet competitive atmosphere.

Following the competition, participants and guests will gather at the clubhouse for a celebratory luncheon, awards ceremony, and live auction.  Trophies and prizes will be presented to the winning teams, while the auction will provide an additional opportunity to support the tournament’s charitable objectives.

The Caledonian Charity Cup is supported by an impressive group of corporate partners whose contributions are helping to deliver the event and advance its charitable mission.
