GOLFERS got into the swing for Rosemere Cancer Foundation’s 20 Years Anniversary Appeal when they turned out to support Grange-Over-Sands Golf Club’s inaugural Rosemere charity tournament.
The shotgun start competition, organised by club member Dave Cornes, raised £1,700 for the appeal and featured 68 golfers.
At an evening presentation that followed the day’s play, club professional Nick Lowe awarded prizes to the top four pairs. In addition, Nick sponsored prizes for the nearest line (long) drive and nearest the pin shot. There was also a raffle and auction to end proceedings.
Dave said: “I would like to thank the club committee, club members, players and visitors in addition to all who donated raffle and auction prizes. For an inaugural event, it couldn’t have gone any better.”
Rosemere Cancer Foundation’s 20 Years Anniversary Appeal launched in March to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the opening of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s regional specialist cancer treatment centre for Lancashire and South Cumbria, the Rosemere Cancer Centre, at the Royal Preston Hospital.
The centre provides all the area’s radiotherapy among other specialist care, and through the appeal, Rosemere Cancer Foundation is working to fund a trio of ground-breaking projects there.
