Golf Day 2025
Our annual charity golf day was a success!
Businesses from far and wide joined us at the beautiful Close House Golf Course for our annual Golf Day.
Championed by our headline sponsor Pin Point Health & Social Care, with our additional hole sponsors Rigga Repairs, LDA Group and Anchor Group Services, we were set for a fantastic day of golfing.
Our Chief Executive John Preston welcomed the golfers before Hedleys College student James took to the floor to share his journey with the Percy Hedley Foundation. He did an incredible job and was met with lots of applause as he shared his many achievements.
Golfers made their way across the scenic 18-hole Lee Westwood Filly course, taking part in a variety of competitions along the way. Among the competitions was the hole-in-one challenge, offering a £30,000 cash prize. While no one clinched the win, there were some impressively close attempts!
7 people managed to ‘beat the pro’, and 9 people were successful in the mini putter challenge, where a draw selected two winners for signed merchandise from golfer Lee Westwood himself.
Mulligans were available as a helping hand to our golfers, especially needed when challenges such as the bunker forfeit came into play!
Some of our Hedleys College students gathered at the halfway house to share their experiences with attendees, providing encouragement as the competition ensued.
As we gathered back at the club house for some well-earned food, our compere Steven Innes shared the results:
1st Place: Sintons
2nd Place: C&A Property Maintenance
3rd Place: Inspired Agency
Longest Drive (Male): Robby Bailey – Hellens Group
Longest Drive: (Female): Nicole Collins – Kaijo North Consulting
Prizes included a four-ball voucher for Alnmouth, Burgham, and Close House golf courses, along with bottles of champagne.
