Since 2004, Sunningdale has held an

fundraising golf tournaments at Sunningdale that
year.
At the 8th annual reception hosting
10 local charities, The Polar Bear Classic
for Thames Valley Children’s Centre won the
draw for the grand prize of $10,000 towards their
tournament as a result of a unique draw overseen by

of Golf, made random selections from boxed
individual golf balls labeled with the participating
charities’ names, counting down the ten tournaments
until only the Thames Valley Children’s Centre

Children’s Centre, agreed with other charity
tournament spokespersons that all tournaments at
Sunningdale are winners, thanks to the tremendous
