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.
