The 2020 #DoingItForJarrod campaign has been extended following golf’s return in Victoria to give clubs more time to get involved in this important initiative, as they have been closed throughout the Covid-19 lockdown.

This campaign honours Jarrod Lyle’s legacy and Challenge, the PGA of Australia and Golf Australia are asking clubs and facilities around Australia to dedicate a members’ comp day to #DoingItForJarrod, and in turn support a cause close to the hearts of the golfing community.

“It has been a difficult year for all golf clubs around Australia, either being closed for a period of time, or in Victoria, being locked down for most of the year,” said Challenge CEO David Rogers.

“Jarrod Lyle was an amazing friend and supporter of Challenge and by extending this campaign, we hope it gives more clubs the opportunity to hold a day in honour of Jarrod and support children and families living with cancer.”

With over 80 clubs registered to be a part of our 2020 #DoingItForJarrod campaign, we are beyond humbled by the support we have received from the golfing community. It’s been a tough year for so many, but kindness and generosity always shines the brightest. A big thank you to everyone! Given how up and down this year has been – especially in Victoria – we have decided to extend our 2020 #DoingItForJarrod campaign until the end of January 2021. This will give every golf club around the country the chance to be involved so that we can flood the greens with yellow in honour of the big fella, Jarrod Lyle.

Hosting a #DoingItForJarrod day is easy for clubs and PGA Professionals. It can be as simple as dedicating an existing member’s comp day to #DoingItForJarrod and collecting a gold coin donation from participants.

Every golf club that registers will receive a special pack that includes:

• An A3 poster to help advertise your event date
• A yellow #DoingItForJarrod pin flag
• A black Titleist cap with yellow embroidery for the organiser
• A Titleist prize pack with a sleeve of yellow or white Titleist golf balls and a black Titleist towel OR Titleist valuables pouch
• Five special Yellow Tickets that allow the bearers to attend any one day of the 2021 Australian PGA Championship.

Although the Australian PGA Championship will not go ahead in 2020, #DoingItForJarrod participants will still have the opportunity to be entered into the Major Prize Draw to win one of three all-expenses-paid experiences to Brisbane to play in the 2021 Australian PGA Championship Pro-Am to be held at Royal Queensland Golf Club in late November/early December.
