About the Global Golf4 Cancer 4-Flag Campaign

Through utilising our distinctive ‘4-Flag’, and by encouraging clubs and event organisers to fly this flag on the 4th hole of their golf courses on special occasions, we can create a powerful and far-reaching awareness platform, while at the same time be a catalyst for fundraising opportunities within the golf community.

Why the '4 theme' and why a special '4-Flag' on the 4th hole? 

The idea emanates from the sad fact that 1 in 4 of us is likely to be affected by cancer during our lifetime. And from par fours, to fourballs and four Major championships, '4' is perhaps the most significant number in golf. Every golf course has a 4th hole with a pin or flag in it - one we aim at and interact with as we play the hole. The flag is a beacon and a banner; and in our campaign 'flying the 4-flag' is symbolic of what we are striving to inspire: ‘global golf 4 cancer’.

Launching the Global Golf4 Cancer 4-Flag Campaign 

Nick Edmund launched the 4-Flag Campaign on March 4th, 2017, when he began a walk of almost 2,000km (1,200 miles) along the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland carrying a set of golf clubs. The purpose of this ‘golf-walk’ was to visit 40 golf clubs and personally deliver a GG4C 4-Flag to each club after playing their 4th hole – so raising awareness for the campaign and its goals.

A Series of Regional Campaigns and Special Events

Following a successful launch in Ireland and the completion of a second awareness-creating 'Turnberry to Dornoch' golf-walk in Scotland, Global-Golf4-Cancer has been establishing a series of regional flag-flying campaigns as well as a selection of special GG4C events throughout the golfing world. (Please visit our Campaigns and Events pages).

The Global Campaign Spanning all Six Continents

By the end of 2019 the Global Golf4 Cancer flag had flown on all 6 continents and at such famous venues as St Andrews, Pebble Beach, Royal Liverpool, Ballybunion, The Olympic Course in Rio, Durban Country Club, Royal Montreal, The Jockey Club in Buenos Aires and Royal Portrush. By 2021 it is intended that 400 of the world's finest golf clubs will be raising the flag on important dates and occasions, and at special tournaments and events.
