On Monday 21st June, one of very own seniors, Monty Norman set out early at 06:00 to attempt his "Longest Day" golf challenge. His self-imposed challenge was to play four rounds of golf (72 holes) in one day to raise money for the Macmillan Cancer Care charity.
After a very long hot day, Monty completed the challenge finishing at 20:30 in the evening .... still smiling!!! To help him along the way and offer moral support, Monty was joined at various times by other members of the club. Club Captain John Butcher played alongside him for the first round. The second round he was accompanied by Lesley Cratchley and for the final two rounds Chris Moore played and gave his support. John Taylor was also there to offer his support at various parts of the day.
So far Monty has raised nearly £600 for Macmillan with more money yet to be collected. A big thank-you to all who supported Monty in this very tough challenge.
WELL DONE MONTY!!!
