We are extremely pleased to announce a donation of over £1,200 to Chesterfield's Ashgate Hospice after another successful 'Captain's Charity Day' brought together members and visitors alike to fundraise for a great cause.
The event was held on a wet Saturday 19th October 2024 with members of Bondhay Golf Club and visitors from other courses coming together to take part in a Single Stableford competition. Each players' entry contributed £20 to the charity pot, with other funds raised from a well-stocked raffle table and other generous donations in the various Ashgate buckets throughout the day.
The prize table for the top five places featured a Druids hooded golf pullover, a Druids patterned polo shirt, nine TaylorMade balls, an UnderArmour golf gloves, and a top prize of a four ball voucher for a our friends at Retford Golf Club. Prizes were also presented for those nearest the pin on all par 3s and for the longest drive on the 9th hole.
Ashgate have been the official Club Charity of Bondhay Golf Club for 2024 after being carefully selected by Club Captain Roy Cullis at the start of his captaincy year in 2023.
