The golf ran smoothly with the occasional ‘fore’ heard across the club’s fantastic parkland course.

The rain tried for the first hole then disappeared to what was a wonderful day for golf.

Rebecca Hall of East Bierley primary donated her time selling raffle tickets and Trevor Makinson of Cleckheaton and District Golf Club dealt with the golfers cards and the complex issue of handicaps.

When the round was over the club veranda was packed with the 72 charitable players and a putting competition was run by Andrew Mear.
