Today was the return of our S.A.M. Foundation Golf day at Thorpeness Golf Club & Hotel. A day in honour of Sam May, who last year at the age of 27 was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. Amongst the shocking and devastating news however, Sam decided to look to bring some positivity and decided to start a charity foundation plus host an event to raise money. We sadly lost Sam earlier this year, but his day will forever live on.
Today was also the day where a new shelter in Sam's memory was opened. Money raised from a 3 peak challenge helped fund the project and was built by close friends and family over the last couple months. Donations can still be made via the crowdfunder page if you wish to: Three Peaks for Sam -https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/qleJK6OW?utm_campaign=sharemodal&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=shortlink.
21 teams supported the event this year to help raise funds for the S.A.M Foundation, plus compete for the new trophy. As well as the team competition there were nearest the pins, longest drives and a chance to win a car sponsored by Hammond MG with a hole in one on the 7th. Many came close but no takers.
The best 2 of 4 format competition was a close fought battle with the top two teams tied on count back, but with a better back 9 the team victorious were Chris Williams, Robert Tucker, Robert Bacon and Clint Lakey with 89 points. Must have been the team shirts!!
A glorious and emotional day, but thank you to all that supported the event. Hopefully see you next year ⛳🏆☀️
