This was a great success exceeding my best expectations! 120 players participated in the morning golf (unprecedented) for a shotgun start!) with a similar number for the afternoon BBQ all on a beautiful summers day. 

The ladies/mixed prize was won by the Lady Captains Team with 86pts and the mens prize by Colin & Joe Wykes, Ken Whitehouse and Jack Lawless with a stunning 96pts with Andy Williams Team second with 92pts.

Over £500 was raised for my Charity... Queen Elizabeth Hospital & Birmingham University Prostate Cancer research with generous donations from the SMGs and those who bought start Tees. 

Thank you to all who participated and contributed to another great OGC day.
