To take part, golfers across the UK & Ireland simply download and sign-up to the free Hole19 App which automatically logs golfers’ steps, as well as calories burnt, as they play.

An in-app leaderboard will record golfers' progress so they can see how they fare against fellow golfers throughout the UK and Ireland, with those who walk the most steps winning a host of FootJoy gear.

"Not only do we want to see more golf being played across the UK and Ireland, we want to reward our brand fans for their dedication and allow them to experience the premium quality and comfort of the FJ line-up.”

The ultimate FJ Walk of Champions prize will be rewarded to those who show commitment to their game over the course of the season, with the four avid golfers who have walked the furthest and the four who have logged the most steps on any one day of the season winning a unique golfing experience with FJ.

A weekly prize draw will reward lucky golfers who simply sign-up and log a round via the Hole19 App with a pair of FJ performance socks.
