FOR the second year running the Seniors section and main club members of Fosseway Golf Club combined their efforts to raise money for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal and the result was a magnificent total of just over £3,000.
The Seniors section have been running the event for a number of years following the initiative of former competition secretary Doug Lane but the main club members came on board in 2025 and this year’s total was the best effort so far. Both sections were delighted with the response from members and the total was boosted with draws and auctions .
The main club event took the form of a Texas Scramble and the winning group with a nett 50 were Darren Gibbs, Mark Chivers, Adrian Harvey and Chris Champion. One shot behind came Adrian Hemmings, Darren Hunt, Lucas Sunderland, Andrew Goudie and Chris Alton. Third with a nett 53 were Ben Josham,Malcolm Emery, Mike Colliver and Keith Tapper.
The seniors competition was an individual Stableford and Malcolm Tucker emerged the winner with a total of 36 points. One shot behind came Rob Wells and Dave Malthoff with Wells taking second place on countback.
Seniors secretary Alan Jones said: “I would like to say a huge thank you to all those who took part and donated so generously to make both days an enormous success. A big thank you also goes to those who organised the events and not forgetting the ladies who provided the cakes”.
“This is indeed an event we can all be very proud of - and the sum of more than £3,000 is truly brilliant - and goes to a very worthy cause remembering our heroes.”
