Charity Golf Day 2019
Tue, Jul 30th 2019 at 1:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Unfortunately our 26th Annual Charity Golf Day at Ogbourne Downs GC on 30th July was abandoned due to torrential rainfall
POSTPONED ON 7th JUNE DUE TO THE WEATHER - A SECOND ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO RUN IT ON TUESDAY 30th JULY.
But unfortunately on this second attempt the weather finally put paid to it. The shot gun to signal the start was fired at 1.15pm but just 30 minutes later drenched and bedraggled golfers were seen squelching and trudging their way back to the Clubhouse. The heavens had opened, the greens were flooding and everyone was soaked to the skin. Our 2019 Competition was called off. But golfers are made of stern stuff and no British summer rain was going to dampen their spirits. They weren’t ready to go home. Dinner was brought forward to 3.15pm; the un-played for prizes were auctioned off, and the Heads and Tails and £5 note games were played. Thanks to the competitors’ tremendous generosity over £3,850 was raised for the NSPCC Swindon Centre.
It's a Charity Golf Day sponsored by Simon Day & Co (Chartered Accountants Tel 01793 739184) and organised jointly by the Rotary Clubs of Swindon North and Swindon Thamesdown and promoted in aid of the NSPCC Swindon branch. (In the picture above is last year's winning team).
