Dorset County FA launch inaugural Charity Golf Day

Dorset County FA held their inaugural Charity Golf Day on Friday 14th May 2010. The idyllic surroundings of Ashley Wood Golf Club, Blandford, proved a great test for the 22 teams of four competing on the sunny day!!


The quality of golf on display was of a good standard with all teams making good use of their time off the pitch to have a social outing, all in a good cause.

All participants were welcomed to the Club with a bacon bap and coffee, prior to their 18 holes of golf. At the conclusion of their round, teams could take part in a putting competition, which was then proceeded by a buffet back in the Club.

The presentation ceremony followed, with the following awards being distributed:
-Winning Stableford team - Weymouth FC Youth (99 points)
-2nd Place Stableford – Charlton Inn
-Individual best Stableford score - J Barkess (Charlton Inn)
-Nearest the pin on the 18th - B Humphries (Charlton Inn)
-Nearest the pin in two on the 11th - S Amos (Cons 1)
-Cash prizes for any person scoring 2 on a Par 3 -
G Reeves(Tommys Titans) & F Evans (Cons 2)
-Cash prize for the winning Putting team - Cons Two

A raffle and auction of signed shirts followed, which was greatly received by all those attending; again adding additional funds to Charity.

Our congratulations go to all the winners, but in particular Captain Mark Rogers and his winning Stableford Team from Weymouth FC Youth, whose chosen charity (DCH - Special Care Baby Unit) will benefit greatly from the over £1k raised!

Dorset County FA would like to thank all of the staff at Ashley Wood Golf Club, our main sponsor for the day - Child Trophies Ltd; and all of the organisations that sent us raflfle and auction items. A big thanks also to all teams that participated in the Charity Golf Day, which we hope will become an Annual fixture in the football calendar; the day prior to FA Cup Final.
