Our charity tradition

Golf that gives something back.

FGSH charity golf event
Since 2003

More than €35,000 raised.

In 2003, while working at Finnegan's Wake Irish pub in Hamburg City, there was a karaoke show which I was responsible for. It drew big crowds and the news reached us that a local child could do with a bit of support. The decision was then made to put on a special karaoke night to raise funds.

It was a great success and from then on the golf society decided to turn it into an annual event to help children both in Hamburg and the UK. Since then, we have raised over €35,000 towards the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London and the Sternenbrücke here in Hamburg. Every year, we put on a Texas Scramble with teams of 4 and all money raised goes towards these fantastic causes.

This year is our 23rd anniversary and we look forward to having a great day and a successful financial result. Without the help and support of so many amazing donators throughout the last 23 years, this could never have been achieved. Doing what we are so passionate about with our friends in a team while at the same time helping kids is an absolute honour.

On behalf of Finnegan's Golf Society Hamburg, we thank you all and long may it continue into the next 20 years.

Made possible by the people around the society.

FGSH’s charity work depends on the generosity of our members, friends, sponsors and donors. Their support allows us to turn a good day of golf into something that reaches well beyond the course.

Whether through donations, prizes, sponsorship or simply getting involved, every contribution helps us support causes that matter to our community. It is a collective effort and an important part of what the society stands for.
