Third Annual Worthing & Adur Fund May Day Golf Challenge
This year we joined forces with Dizzy:support for diabetes, raising money for both local charities. A fantastic day was had by more than 60 golfers who participated.
Teams from the Worthing & Adur Chamber of Commerce captained by Damian Pulford were pitted against South Coast Golf Tour captained by Peter Raynsford in a Challenge run Ryder cup style, on Worthing Golf Club’s par 71 Lower Course.
The overall winning team on the day was South Coast Golf Tour and Mark Perring from “Valusys” won best individual score. Fund Founder Donor Caroline Nicholls beat off stiff competition to get the ladies prize! More lady golfers next year please!
Fortified by a Bacon bap and some excellent coffee and tea, the players set off on a bright if chilly morning. They were greeted with more refreshments at the halfway house provided by Dizzy (lovely homemade Muesli bars thanks Jane) then later made their way back for a highly competitive putting challenge followed by an excellent lunch, prizes and the drawing of the raffle.
A big thank you to those local businesses, like Bennett Griffin who provided the 
Winning Team Cup, and individuals who provided sponsorship and prizes and many thanks to everyone at Worthing Golf Club for their support in making the day such a great success. The success of the day boosted the Worthing and Adur Fund which will have another round of grants in October for local charities and voluntary groups like Sailability-sailing for the disabled, and contributed to Dizzy:support for diabetes.
The hard working Golf Day team- David Fluke, Tina Tilley, Damian Pulford, Peter Raynsford and Jools Chaffer would like to start planning for next year so put May 1st in your diary! (TBC)
