Knighton Heath Golf Club raised over £6,000 for Forest Holme Hospice in a charity golf day.
Knighton Heath Golf Club recently organised and hosted a charity golf day that raised £6,182 for Forest Holme Hospice in Poole.
Starting at 8.30am, a total of 34 teams hit the course for a day packed with 18 holes of fun and a bonus 19th hole celebration featuring prize-giving, auctions and a raffle.
Knighton Heath’s General Manager, Kevin Eden, and Functions and Events Coordinator, Denise Bennett, then both visited the hospice to present a cheque to Corporate and Community Fundraiser, Kirsty Perks.
Kirsty said: “We want to say a huge thanks to Sean Keen, Club Captain, and Grace Burke, Ladies Club Captain, for choosing Forest Holme as their charity, as well as to the sponsors, players, and the incredible staff and volunteers whose hard work made this fantastic donation possible. Knighton Heath Golf Club are already in the planning stages for next year’s event.”
