A third year at the RAC Club at the end of June celebrated the 25th Anniversary of the Golf Challenge which has been the main fundraising event for the Dan Maskell Tennis Trust during the past quarter of a century!
21 teams took part – most of whom have been supporting the Trust for many years, either by playing or contributing prizes and gifts for the auction and raffle.
The winners were as follows:
1st place: Claret Codgers with 97 points
Runners-up: The Niblicks (95), Third Place: Game, Set Fore! (94), 4th Place: Task BC (93)
Longest Drive Men: Craig Beadle, Ladies: Sue Rodwell, Nearest the Pin: Ian Cole
Thanks to the amazing generosity of supporters, we raised £25,000 to celebrate the 25th year!
Our President had several events to celebrate – firstly having recently received a Damehood in the King’s Birthday Honours List, Dame Elaine was also celebrating 60 years in show business and 15 years as DMTT President!
