TG Lynes golf day tees up £4,500 charity boost

Birdies, eagles and fundraising were the order of the day as TG Lynes held its annual charity golf day for customers and suppliers.

Almost £2,250 was raised when the leading heating, plumbing and air movement materials supplier staged its popular event at the famous Woburn Golf Club.

The money has been donated to TG Lynes’ nominated charity, Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice and its match-funding From That Moment campaign, unlocking a further £2,250 for the hospice.

Noah’s Ark provides support to babies, children, and young people with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions, and their families, across London.

Almost 50 golfers took to the course in beautiful conditions, playing in a team of four competition as well as an individual contest with a Stableford format.

Laura Janaway, Marketing Manager at TG Lynes, said: “Our charity golf day is always one of the highlights on the fundraising and social calendar.

“It was a magnificent day and an opportunity to thank our key customers and suppliers for their continued support throughout the last 12 months.

“Everybody dug deep to support Noah’s Ark, which will make a big difference to the tremendous work the charity does in our local community.”

The winning team was made up of Billy Jolley, Danny Akers, James Knight and Mike Whitehurst, with 86 points.

Billy Jolley was the individual supplier winner with 35 points, while Danny Akers (handicap +2) was the individual winner with 36 points.

Nearest to the pin on the third was won by Jack Haley.

Anna McGrath, Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice Philanthropy and Partnerships manager, said: “A huge thanks to everyone who took part in this popular golf day, which was once again a resounding success.

“TG Lynes is a valued partner and has already raised more than £25,000 for our hospice. This money will help us support more babies, children and young people who are seriously unwell and enable their families to make the most of every day.”
