Golf Day a Big Success!!

Slider Ads

The Junior Blades 1981 held their first ever golf day on Wednesday 3rd July at Hillsborough Golf Course. The event was a big success and raised some important funds for the junior football club.

20 teams and 77 players in total took part in the event which was played on a gloriously sunny day at Hillsborough. The format was a 2 out of 4 to count, stableford competition with players playing off a maxium of 18 handicap.

The event went better than we could have imagined. We had a great turnout of players. A good mix of both good and bad golfers and the whole day was not only a lot of fun but a good little fundraiser for the upcoming season. Hillsborough Golf Course were fantastic hosts and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone thinking of holding a similar type of event. I’d also like to say a big thank you to all of the businesses that helped out. Whether it be sponsorship or through entering a team on the day. Every penny raised will go back into the Club and help provide a platform for the kids to learn and develop as footballers.

In the end the tournament was an incredibly close event with 7 teams coming out as joint 2nd place and a back nine countback needed to seperate the teams into the final places.

Team Westoby took 3rd place while Rowland Rats came in second place both with 86 points.

The eventual winners, with 89 points was Okeys Allstars made up of the Sheffield Steelers players Robert Dowd, Ben O’Connor and Commercial Manager, Mike O’Connor.
