There was a champagne celebration shower when four golf bag carrying golfers arrived at the front gates of the Royal Lytham and St. Annes clubhouse.

The four had just walked 300 miles from London to Lytham to help raise money for the Seve Ballasteros Foundation.

“Here’s to Seve,” they then said raising the champers bottles.

The walk took them from the centre of London past many golf courses, including Wentworth and The Belfry. It was at the Belfry where Ballesteros amazed fans by becoming the first player to drive the par-four 10th hole during the 1985 Ryder Cup, and hope to raise thousands of pounds for his foundation and raise awareness for Seve Day along the way.

Seve Day is being backed by the likes of European Ryder Cup captain Jose Maria Olazabal, ‘The Voice of Golf’ Peter Alliss and top stars Justin Rose and Ian Poulter – allowing competitors to play a round of golf anywhere in Europe and register their scores on the www.seveday.com website.

A star studded grand final will then be held at The Belfry in October 2012, shortly after this year’s Ryder Cup in Medinah, where the top 72 stableford score entrants will play for big prizes and the Seve 2012 Trophy.

In return for a £25 / €30 entry fee, which goes directly to the Seve Ballesteros Foundation, participants also receive £250 worth of vouchers, golf lessons, free balls and complimentary rounds of golf, plus a chance to win an exclusive prize to The Masters 2013 if they win the Grand Final.
