Charity Golf Day
Sun, Jul 12th 2015 at 10:30 am - 6:00 pm
We ran another Charity Texas Scramble Golf Competition at Woodbridge Park Golf Club in Brinkworth to raise over £1800 for the GWH "Brighter Futures" Radiotherapy Unit Appeal.
The Golf Day was a huge success and raised lots of cash for Brighter Futures, the GWH Radiotherapy Appeal. Despite a few showers, 78 golfers played a Texas Scramble competition over 18 holes with Ian Rumbold leading in the winning team with 50 points. In second place was a team from WPGC - who should have done better as they know the course inside-out! Two teams of RWBT Rotarians finshed in the third group ensuring that fair play was being seen to be done. Very many thanks to the golfers who turned out despite the forecast; Bob and Gill Vaughan for running the post-golf barbecue; all the RC members and ladies who set up and ran the event; to WPGC for allowing us to run the event and providing the pre-match bacon rolls and to our very generous sponsors of both the prizes and the individual holes.
Results:
Ian Rumbold, Neil Hammond, Tom Freeston and Gareth Cassidy won the main event and received a voucher for a meal for 4 at the Ganges Restaurant kindly donated by Mr Chowdhury. They also received 'Brighter Futures' T-shirts.
Nigel Walker, Johnny Mac, Robert Knight and Geoff Bryant were the runners up and paradoxically received a round of golf for 4 players donated by WPGC ( I can see that being passed on to family or friends!)
Tom Freeston hit the longest drive and received a voucher donated by 'Casa di Pico' and
Dave Hammond was nearest the pin on the 8th receiving a 45-minute golf lesson donated by Americal Golf.
Brighter Futures also donated wrist bands; Hayley & Woodall donated mugs for the losing team.
