Harrogate Neighbours' annual Charity Golf Day has raised a record-breaking £4,012.
Held at Tadcaster Golf Course last Friday (3rd October), the event raised triple the amount raised at last year’s event.
Despite battling gale-force winds brought on by Storm Amy, 18 teams made up of local businesses and BNI (Business Network Central) teed off to complete a full 18 holes in support of Harrogate Neighbours’ vital community services.

The event, now in its third year, saw friendly competition, great camaraderie, and plenty of wet-weather resilience from players who braved the elements to make the day a huge success.
Sue Cawthray, CEO of Harrogate Neighbours, said:
“We are absolutely delighted with the amount raised — £4,012 is a phenomenal total, especially given the challenging weather conditions!
“The funds will go directly towards purchasing new machinery for packing meals for our volunteer-led meals on wheels service, which has seen a significant rise in demand across the community.
"We’re so grateful to everyone who took part, sponsored, and supported the day — it truly makes a difference.”
Among the players was Simon Cottom, Managing Director of The Fat Badger, who added:
“It was a pleasure to take part in the Harrogate Neighbours Golf Day last Friday.
"Although the weather did its absolute best to put us off concentrating on our game, our team managed to get round this super course, in one piece, albeit soaked to the bone by the time we walked off the 18th green!
“Well done to the fantastic team at Harrogate Neighbours for organising a great day and maybe the weather will do its part next year to make it a ‘perfect score!’”
The day included a taste of Slinsgby Gin at the halfway house, a chance for players to buy mulligan to top up there score, and concluded with a raffle, prize presentation where prizes had been provided by Kinsey Partnership which helped towards the thousands of pounds raised.
