TWO borough charities, one that supports youngsters, and the other the over 60s, have clubbed together to hold a joint charity golf competition.
Wokingham’s WADE Day Care Centre which supports older residents, and Home-Start Wokingham which helps families with very young children, are presenting a Charity Golf Day at a local golf course.
“There are some great prizes, “ said Philip Mirfin, chair of trustees at WADE.
“There is £10,000 for anyone who gets a hole-in-one on the 11th hole.”
Other hole-in-one prizes are a weekend golfing holiday in Portugal (fifth hole), a Forest Of Arden holiday (ninth hole) and a golf driver prize (seventh hole).
“There are also some great silent auction items to bid for,” added Mr Mirfin, “including a 45-minute trip in a Tiger Moth plane.”
Already 17 teams have signed up for the tournament, but there is room for three more teams of four people.
Tickets cost £65 per person, and include hot snacks at breakfast, a two-course carvery lunch and a day of golfing with 18 holes.
The tournament takes place at Hennerton Golf Club, Wargrave on Friday, June 9.
Teams arrive at 8am, with the event ending at 2.30pm.
Anyone interested in joining the golfing day should call WADE on: 0118 978 7025
