The team from Selected Fitness who won first place at Cynthia Spencer Hospice's charity Golf Day
Well played to the Selected Fitness team as they celebrate their victory at the annual corporate golf day in aid of Cynthia Spencer Hospice.
The quartet saw off the challenge of 24 other teams at Northampton Golf Club. The day raised more than £14,000 for the hospice in Northampton.
Businesses across Northamptonshire rallied to the cause, providing sponsorship for the event, to boost the coffers further.
The day and prizes were sponsored by headline sponsor ACS Recruitment, Franklins Solicitors LLP, Onefoursix, Neves Solicitors, United Pallet Network, Digital Origin, Artemis, DFA Law, Smurfit Kappa, Neptune Rum and ACS Office Solutions.
In the individual competition, Jon Thorpe of ACS Solutions won both the Longest Drive and Putting Competition. Lee Tribe from IT support specialist Digital Origin and Steve Bowers of Northampton Golf Club were the Nearest the Pin winners while Harvey Entwistle from Selected Fitness claimed the prize for Nearest the Pin (in 2).
ACS Recruitment managing director Chris Wright said: “Our first time as headline sponsor and it certainly will not be the last. Well done to all the winners.”
The golf day was part of Cynthia Spencer Hospice’s 45th anniversary celebrations. Corporate partnerships fundraiser Nina Gandy said: “It was great to see lots of new businesses join in the competition too and enjoy networking with other local firms while supporting our wonderful hospice. As many businesses are still adjusting to the post-lockdown environment, their support is really appreciated, and the funds raised will make a huge difference to our patients and their families both now and in the future.”
Entries are already coming in for the 2022 Cynthia Spencer Hospice Golf Day, to be held at Northampton Golf Club on October 6. “Sign us up for next year to defend the title,” said Selected Fitness owner Josh Brown.
