The 27th Charity Golf Tournament 2026

ROTARY GOLF DAY BENEFITS MANY CHARITIES

Each year Richmond Rotary Club has used a variety of activities to raise money for charities. One of the most successful has been a golf competition at Richmond Golf Club.

Once again, this year we were delighted to be able to hold the event.

A total of 18 teams from local businesses, golfers and Rotary Clubs competed. The weather was perfect and the day was sponsored by local Richmond and national companies.

The First Prize was won by David J Olney’s Team. The Sherwood Cup for the best Rotary Team went to the home team of Richmond Rotary Club who also won the Walter Hepworth Memorial Cup.

The main organiser of the Golf Day was Richmond Rotarian Colin Chitty who said after the event:

‘It was great that we were able to organise the Golf Day again this year and I am grateful to all my Rotary colleagues for their assistance.  Without the continuing support of participants, the event would not be possible, and it is good that such an enjoyable day ultimately benefits so many people.

Funds were raised from participants through entry fees, a tombola and refreshments mostly provided by Rotary ladies.

We remain especially grateful to everyone at Richmond Golf Club for their continuing support for our Rotary event at their superb golf course.’

Richmond Rotary President John Morton commented:

‘Thanks to the hard work of everyone involved we were able to raise over £3,000 again this year. This will support some really good causes including Yorkshire Air Ambulance, The Alzheimer’s Society, the Storehouse Foodbank in Richmond and St Theresa’s Hospice. We hope that next year we shall be able to repeat what was clearly a hugely successful day.’
