Following a two year absence caused by the pandemic, it was great to revive the Charity Golf Day at Rothley Park on Wednesday 19th October this year. I'm pleased to report the event was well supported with 10 teams turning out on a lovely autumn day in Leicestershire.
The course, which had recently hosted the English Seniors Championship, was in perfect condition, with the very fast greens proving a challenge to many of the competitors. The great conditions produced some fine scores with the team from Chapelton Board, led by Rob Barker, proving worthy winners. Rob also produced the longest drive in a very impressive display.
The Premier Paper team led by Dave Jones and including the PICT President, Tony Wood, ran the winners close with only a point in the scores. The team from Folbb UK, led by Mark Aubrey, were third in a competitive day on the course.
We are grateful for the generous donations of prizes from Denmaur, Elliot Baxter, Premier Paper and Devon Consulting, which means all the funds raised on the day go to good causes. With such excellent support we raised over £1,500 on the day whilst enjoying great golf, in good company in the best traditions of PICT.
As always, we were made very welcome by all at Rothley Park and they are keen to see us again next year.
