Success for Mayor’s charity day

GOOD weather helped to make the Mayor’s Charity Golf Day a great success at Lisburn last Thursday. Twenty two teams took part in the event with the proceeds going to Stepping Stones. The best two scores counted at each hole with all four scores counting at the 9th and 18th. Team prizes and individual prizes were awarded. Other prizes were raffled and auctioned.

The Lisburn captain Dr Sam Moore welcomed the competitors and hoped they would enjoy the day. The Mayor thanked everyone for their support especially Coca Cola the main sponsors and Lisburn Golf Club for the use of their course. He also thanked Jane, the caterer, and all those who had helped with the organisation. He congratulated the club on the excellent condition of the course and offered good wishes for the remainder of the season. A total of over £5,000 was raised from the day’s proceedings.

Philip Sanaghen hit the longest drive off the 10th tee with the ball going over 300 yards.

Trevor Anderson left his tee shot eight feet from the flag at the 6th to win the ‘nearest the pin’ prize.
