James Ross Jewellers charity golf day

After a two-year absence, Friday 27 May saw the return of the very popular James Ross Jewellers Charity Golf Day at West Hove Golf Club. 

A massive thank you from James to everyone who took part. The event was deemed a huge success and, thanks to everyone’s generosity, managed to raise just over an incredible £11,000 for the three nominated charities: Adur Special Needs Project, Turning Tides Homeless Charity and St Barnabas House. An amazing effort by everyone involved and a figure that smashed the previous record.

The day itself provided perfect weather conditions with bright blue sky and sunshine, and the players couldn’t have asked for a better course to play on. A perfect opportunity then for photographer Nick Ford to whizz around on his buggy and take some great snaps of the day. 

With the expected array of additional challenges over the day, the winners were:

Nearest the pin: Tim Bloxham

Ladies longest drive: Ruth Priestly

Men’s longest drive: Mark Judges

Team runners up: ‘Downlanders’ featuring Alan, Roy and Jack Pook and Jeff Medhurst

Team winners: ‘Fore Brothers’ featuring Leigh Karadzas, Paul Zmack, Dave Sayers and Paul Nash.

A special mention for Noel Preston from Preston Insurance Brokers for continuing his sponsorship of this event, while hole sponsors that should also be recognised include HR Smart, GC Fire & Security, LK Carpentry, Silver Star Cleaning, Brighton Penny Farthing Tours and TICA Hove. Additionally Wear Your Logo in Lancing supplied the golf towels for all the participants.

Also, special thanks go to Ryan Fenwick Golf Academy and Absolute Golf for their support and, of course, to West Hove Golf Club for allowing James to stage this event for the 11th year.
