Par for the course!

We had a terrific day last Friday at the third annual Sycamore Trust UK Golf Day.  For the third year in a row, the event took place at the Stapleford Abbots golf club just outside Romford and once again, we were lucky with the weather, although it threatened to rain for an hour in the morning.

After a breakfast of bacon rolls and coffee, we had 52 golfers lined up to play and many of them took part in the chipping & putting competitions before they went out on to the course.

After eighteen holes, our players returned to the clubhouse for a hot supper as we tallied up the scores.  Our winners were as follows;

  • Competition winner; Alfie Richards
  • Runner-up; Danny Cunningham
  • Longest drive; Patrick Hattersley
  • Chipping competition;; David Maylor
  • Putting competition; Kev Taylor
  • Nearest the pin; Neil Parker, Ian Gadbury, Raymond Coe, Adam Kinnaird
  • Wooden spoon!; Ray Taylor

Events like this don't happen by magic and there are so many people that we'd like to thank, especially our sponsors;

  • Enterprise Mobility
  • Fix Auto Dagenham
  • BPS Building Services
  • Abbey Group
  • BVS Group
  • UK Power Networks
  • Ipswich Exotics
  • Griffin Property

In addition, thanks to all those people who kindly donated raffle prizes,

Last but definitely not least, huge thanks to Paul & Jemma Taylor for everything they did to make the day such a success, especially as they had only just returned from holiday the day before!

Looking forward to next year already!
