DESPITE persistent heavy rain throughout the morning the breast cancer charity day at Bransford Golf Club proved to be an outstanding success.
Around 20 teams of three braved the weather to take part in a stableford format ‘pink peril’ fun competition, in which a pink ball was used alternatively by the members of each team and counted for double as long — as it wasn’t lost during the round.
Because of the poor conditions, the competition was restricted to nine holes and was won by the team of Chris Large and Steve and Don Bolton with 59 points, six ahead of Matt Waterhouse, Ian Pritchard and Stuart Wood.
Large also won the prize for the longest drive, while the booby prize went to the team of Anne and Ian Hamilton, and Mike Holmes.
But what delighted everyone who took part the most was the announcement that the event had raised around £400 for the charity.
