Hesketh Captains day raises in excess of £8,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust

The weather was perfect on Sunday when Hesketh Golf Club Captain Jeff Watkins hosted his Charity Golf Day in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The day was a tremendous success with more than 80 golfers competing in the morning Shotgun Start competition fol- lowed by 150 members and guests taking part in the social part of the event which followed.

The delighted Captain announced that more than £8,000 had been raised through the golf, auction, raffle and sale of a limited edition Phil Mickelson golf bag. The American golfer had made an unexpected visit to Hesketh GC on the eve of The Open at Royal Birkdale.

At the end of the event Jeff thanked everyone who had helped raise such a fantastic amount for such a worthy cause.

Further events are planned to help increase the amount donated to the Teen- age Cancer Trust with donations open until February
