EX-PREMIER League footballer Jason Roberts is supporting The Bristol Golf Club’s ‘Bag Amnesty’ as it comes towards its end.

The golf club, near Almondsbury, has already had more than 200 golf bags donated along with thousands of clubs as part of the project which ends at 5pm on Sunday, September 28.

The nationwide amnesty is run by Crown Golf clubs across England and began in June. It has since seen over 3,000 golf bags and more than 15,000 golf clubs donated.

Donated golf bags and clubs are being sent around the world by charity The Golf Trust to support projects to increase participation in the sport, with several UK disabled golf and inner-city projects also receiving some of the equipment.

A Caribbean trip to Grenada will be given to one participant in a prize draw made possible by footballer Jason Roberts, whose Foundation is helping to create sporting opportunities for young people on the island.

Ian Knight, from The Bristol Golf Club, said: “We’re taking donations from absolutely everybody, so if you haven’t yet donated, I urge you to look in your garage, shed or loft, and bring in your old golf bags and clubs!

“Hundreds of members of the public have already donated an item or two this summer, at The Bristol. Come and visit the golf club before Sunday evening, and we’ll put your donated equipment to good use somewhere in the world.”

All golfers who donate will receive a voucher giving £20 off their next purchase of a Callaway Golf bag at any Crown Golf club.
