Cowdray Golf Day

Aldingbourne Trust raise over £ 5,600 at their annual charity golf tournament.

On Wednesday 22nd May, Aldingbourne Trust hosted its 7th annual stableford shotgun charity tournament at the Cowdray Golf Course.  16 teams participated in what was an opportunity to enjoy a game of golf and support an award winning charity.

To help on the day, two of the people the Trust support, Debbie and Andrew joined to support the event.  With Debbie selling raffle tickets for the charity raffle draw and Andrew, who is a budding photographer, helping to record the day’s events by following the teams around during the competition.

The sun was shining on their beautiful 18 hole golf course, and to start the day they hosted a putting competition, which was won by Frank Todd.  The teams then set off across the 18 hole course to enjoy a friendly completion, with prizes for the Men’s and Ladies nearest to the pin, and the longest drive.

After the tournament, there was a special presentation dinner to announce the days prize winners, and to draw the charity raffle.  The winning team was Newbarn Kia with a score of 96, and the runners up were Simple Minds with a score of 91.  The ladies nearest to the pin was won by Mary Thorp, the Men’s nearest to the pin was won by Christ Earl, and the longest drive was awarded to John Edony.

They will be hosting the event again in May 2020, if you are interested in taking part, or would be interested in supporting the event by sponsoring a hole.  Please contact lenar@aldingbourne.org.
