The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
A record turnout of 190 men and women players contested Tydd St Giles Golf Club’s Captain’s Day charity event on Saturday.
Organised by skipper Ian Cooper, the event was back on the calendar after skipping a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The overall winner on the day was David Barnes with a score of 39 points, while Lynn Exley (41 points) bossed the ladies’ section.
More than £4,000 was raised for Cooper’s captains charity, although he has not yet decided which organisations will be supported.
On the day, one of the sponsored par three holes – the fourth – saw lady golfer Christine Burton achieve a hole in one, winning a Taylor Made Sim 2 driver (value £399) as well as the traditional watch awarded to all hole in one winners.
