Around 100 golfers clubbed together yesterday to help raise £50,000 for Norwood at its annual Golf Day. Held at Dyrham Park Country Club in Barnet, the event generated vital funds to support Norwood’s life-changing work with people with learning disabilities, and children and families in need.
In the morning, corporate teams, including a large number from the construction and property industries, made their way out on the luscious fairways and manicured greens for a round of golf. Once they had completed their round, the golfers returned to the club-house where they were welcomed by David Galman, Chairman of the Norwood Golf Committee. Guests enjoyed a glass of Pimm’s on the terrace and a buffet lunch before awards were presented to the winning corporate team and two runners up, the golfers who achieved the longest drive and most accurate tee shot.
More than 20 companies were present at the Golf Day, and firms who organised teams included City and Docklands, Frogmore, Galliard Homes, J S Wright, New Concept Interiors, Investec, UK Screeders and Woodford Signs & Graphics. The event was generously sponsored by C J O’Shea Group Ltd and associate sponsor Howard Kennedy.
Following the event, David Galman said: “I’d like to thank everyone who helped to make this Golf Day such a great success, including our sponsors C J O’Shea and Howard Kennedy. The money raised will help Norwood continue its work helping thousands of people with learning disabilities, and children and families in need, to improve the quality of their lives, and achieve their goals, each and every year.”
