Caledonian Charity Cup returns to Ikoyi Club

The Caledonian Charity Cup will return to Ikoyi Club 1938 on October 30, with 25 teams expected to compete in the 18-hole tournament aimed at raising funds for an orphanage in Lagos.

Organised by the Lagos Caledonian Society, the competition will donate its net proceeds to Foster Paradise Homes, a Lagos State-registered orphanage that cares for orphans, abandoned children and vulnerable young people.

The tournament celebrates Scotland’s golfing heritage while using sport to promote philanthropy, community engagement and fellowship.

The 25 registered teams will compete under the names of Scottish towns and locations with golfing connections, including Milngavie, Gullane, Carnoustie, Dundee, North Berwick, Musselburgh, Dornoch and Blairgowrie.

The competition will adopt a shotgun start format, allowing teams to begin playing simultaneously at different points on the course in a friendly but competitive atmosphere.

Participants and guests will gather at the clubhouse after the competition for a luncheon, awards ceremony and live auction, with trophies and prizes presented to the winning teams.

The auction will provide another opportunity for guests to contribute to the charity’s fundraising efforts.

The event has attracted support from corporate partners, whose contributions will help deliver the tournament and advance its charitable objectives.

The Lagos Caledonian Society is working with Concierge Sports as event manager to deliver the competition, with the proceeds directed towards supporting children and young people at Foster Paradise Homes.
