This year’s NABS Golf Open has raised £35,000 in essential funds for the industry charity.
In total 106 people took part, including 14 people who played for the first time as part of the event’s new Learn2Love Golf initiative, designed to bring in a wide range of new players to the tournament.
The NABS Golf Open takes place each autumn. This year’s event was held at Foxhills, Surrey, on Friday 2nd September.
Tournament winners were JC Decaux and Learn2Love Golf winners were Jenny Rye, Alfie Tedder and Derya Us from Talon Outdoor, and Jenny Healy from Brainlabs.
The day was sponsored by News UK, ITV and Digital Cinema Media.
Sue Todd, CEO, NABS, said: “It was great to see both old friends and newbies to the game joining us for this fixture in the NABS calendar. With the cost of living crisis upon us and financial concerns looming large, it’s more important than ever for the industry to come together and raise funds for NABS.”
Demand for NABS’ services, including its grants, will likely increase further this winter, having already soared during the pandemic. The charity experienced a 23% surge in demand for help from people across the country, at the same time as suffering a £1.75m loss in income.
