Henshaw's Golf Day raised £12,500 for people living with sight loss and other disabilities following its return to Rudding Park earlier this month.
The event, sponsored by McCormicks Solicitors, brought together 21 teams from across the North of England for a day of competition, camaraderie and celebration.
The day began in the Rudding Park clubhouse before golfers teed off on the Repton course. By lunchtime the rain had cleared, the sun was shining, and players were ready to take on the main challenge, the 18-hole Hawtree course.
The team prize went to Intergroup, who were each presented with a Yorkshire food and drink hamper, donated by Martin Mann I.T. Solutions.
Individual honours were also keenly contested, with Ben Dowds of Beevers & Struthers named Best Player, while Chris Hastings of McCormicks Solicitors impressed with both the longest drive and closest to the pin, taking home a selection of fine wines.
Flora Simpson, Corporate Fundraiser at Henshaws, said:
“We are absolutely delighted with the success of this year’s Golf Day. The atmosphere on and off the course was incredible, and to raise £12,500 is just fantastic.
“Every penny will go towards helping people with sight loss and other disabilities to go beyond expectations and thrive. We’re so grateful to McCormicks Solicitors, all our teams, and everyone who made the day possible.”
Next year’s Henshaws Charity Golf Day will take place on Wednesday, September 16th at Rudding Park, and early interest is already building. Anyone keen to get involved is encouraged to contact the Henshaws fundraising team for more details.
