Teddy is top dog at Rathmore Golf Club charity cheque presentation

The Past Captain of Rathmore Golf Club in Portrush recently made a donation to a north coast animal charity – with a little help from his own dog, Teddy!

Causeway Coast Dog Rescue (CCDR) was delighted to receive a generous donation of £2,016.67 from Past Captain Ian Kettyle, who selected CCDR as one of his chosen charities during his captaincy year.

The presentation marked a special occasion as the captaincy was formally handed over to the incoming Captain, Darren Pollock.

Ian’s much loved dog Teddy shared in the moment, highlighting the strong bond between people and their dogs that underpins CCDR’s work.

"Donations like this make a real difference, helping us continue our rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming work across the community.”
