The tree-lined fairways and glassy greens of the Hawkstone Park, Windmill Course in Shropshire provided both a test of golf and a stunning backdrop to the 2005 GM Fundraising Golf Day.

The Promac Group foursome of David Stockton-Chalk, Scott Haslingden, David Higgs and Joe Hague won the competition with an excellent score of 90 points. Pushing them hard with 88 points were runners-up, KEB Fabrications represented by Andy Flavell, Neil Preston, Mark Willis and Sid Smart. Joe Hague of Promac, playing off a handicap of six won the prize for best individual with an impressive 40 points.

Wendland Roof Solutions’ Iain McInnes won the 18-Hole Putting Competition, with a score of 35 despite ‘allegedly’ not having played for four years. GM Fundraising founder, Gary Morton also took the opportunity to present him with the Rider of the Tour Yellow Jersey from the recent GM Fundraising John O’Groats-Lands End Cycle Ride. Prizes were also awarded for two Nearest-the-pin holes, two Longest Drive holes and Conservatory Roof Craft sheepishly collected suitably tacky plastic trophies for coming last with a score too embarrassing to record here.

Following the Presentation Dinner and entertainment from comedian Jimmy Bright, the subsequent raffle and charity auction was generously supported by all present, with the whole day raising nearly £11,000 for the children of Hope House Hospice.
