Dominic Holland Turns His Golf Humour Book into a Father’s Day Charity Drive

Dominic Holland is using Father’s Day to do a bit of good. The British comedian, best known to many as the father of Spider-Man actor Tom Holland, is promoting his latest golf humour book as a gift idea for dads this weekend. Proceeds from the sale go to Anthony Nolan, one of the UK’s most respected blood cancer charities.

Holland shared the message on Instagram this week. “Read a book and help save a life,” he wrote. “A perfect Father’s Day gift. Proceeds go to Anthony Nolan charity.” He pointed followers to the link in his bio and asked them to follow his page for more.

The charity connection is worth knowing about. Anthony Nolan runs the UK’s stem cell and bone marrow donor register. It matches volunteer donors with patients diagnosed with blood cancers like leukaemia and lymphoma. The organisation was founded in 1974 and has since helped facilitate more than 25,000 transplants. For patients without a family match, the register is often their best option.

Holland has been a working comedian and author for more than three decades. Golf humour is his speciality. His books take a dry, observational look at the game and at everyday British life. The tone is wry and familiar, the kind of writing that tends to click with anyone who knows a golf course well.

He’s built a loyal readership over the years. That following is his own, built on his comedy and books, separate from the extra visibility that comes with being the father of one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. He’s spoken about that dynamic in interviews, generally with good humour.

Tom Holland, by the way, has been the face of Marvel’s Spider-Man since 2016. His dad has consistently shown up to support him in public. Dominic keeps writing and performing on his own terms, and this campaign is a good example of that.

The Father’s Day timing is deliberate. The holiday falls on June 15 in the UK this year. For anyone still looking for a last-minute gift for a golf-obsessed dad, Holland’s book is a solid option. It’s funny, and part of the money goes to a charity doing serious work. That’s a pretty reasonable case for clicking buy.

Holland didn’t name the specific book title in the post. The hashtags #DominicHollandBooks and #GolfHumour fill in the gap well enough. No fundraising target or running total has been announced publicly.

Anthony Nolan accepts new donor registrations from people between the ages of 16 and 30. The charity estimates that roughly one in three patients needing a stem cell transplant will find a compatible donor through its register. The need for new volunteers never really stops. Campaigns like this one help raise awareness and keep the register growing.

It’s a simple pitch. A funny book, a worthwhile cause, and a Father’s Day deadline to seal the deal.
