NEWS RELEASE

Aberdeen city centre store, Gamola Golf, is teeing up for the Ryder Cup by offering horth-east golf fans the chance to win an exclusive prize – a signed Cobra Ian Poulter tour bag.

Gamola Golf is also hoping to raise funds for two local charities, Roxburghe House, a specialist palliative care unit which concentrates on symptom control for patients with life-limiting illness, and Homestart Aberdeen, an organisation which offers practical help and support to parents of young children.

For a chance to win the Cobra tour bag signed by Ryder Cup golfer Ian Poulter, simply visit the Gamola Golf store or the Locker Room, on Market Street.

Individual squares can be purchased at £5 each. All money raised will be split evenly between the two charities. The draw to announce the winner will only be made once all 100 squares have been sold.

Graeme Masterton, the driving force behind Gamola Golf and the Locker Room, said: “It really is a terrific prize and obviously it’s all the more significant with Ian Poulter playing in the Ryder Cup this weekend. We’re always eager to support local causes and are pleased to help these two great charities in any way we can.”
