Twelfth Charity Golf Day 2024
Date for your diaries:- 1st May 2025
On Thursday 2nd May in trying conditions we held our Twelfth Charity Golf Day at Tall Pines golf course. The weather prevented some of the 36 teams completing the full 18 holes.
That said what a great day we had, and we ended up with a great atmosphere in the club house, with some great scores given the disruption and conditions.
There were tied scores of 66 (1st and 2nd) and tied 64 (3rd and 4th), the eventual winners being the team from local estate agents Robin King.
The most important thing however is that we managed to make a fantastic donation of £5,400 to the Alzheimer's Society which will be used to fund community projects for the local group.
