Annual Charity Golf Competition
Charity Golf Day At Kingsbarns Links
For 18 years now the Rotary Club of Kilrymont St Andrews
has hosted its major fund-raising annual event, a Charity Golf Day.
The 2019 event took place in glorious sunny conditions on
Monday at Kingsbarns Golf Links, attracting 112 golfers from all over the UK.
Competitors came from as far afield as Bristol,
Surrey, Campbeltown and Inverness to play for prestigious individual and team
prizes.
The Grand Match competition is fought out by teams
representing England, South Scotland, Midlands Scotland and North Scotland.
The event regularly raises in the region of £6000.00. In
addition to entry fees and raffle income, the figure is boosted each time by
sponsor donations from a wide variety of local and regional businesses.
The funds raised are distributed to local charities. This
year, the nominated recipients are Fife Young Carers, Friends of Craigtoun Park and
TCCL Lodge (Tayside Children with Cancer and Leukaemia holiday home sited in St
