Golfers raised £6,540 for Holt Youth Club at a charity day on the north Norfolk coast.
Royal Cromer Golf Club hosted the annual fundraiser – the charity’s 10th – with the winning team made up of Mick and Margaret Baxter and Tony and Jane Gurney-Read.
Kevin Abbs, the youth project’s chairman of trustees, described the fundraiser as one of the best the charity had ever held.
Mr Abbs said: “The sun came out at midday and it was absolutely idyllic. The atmosphere was fabulous.”
One of the youth project’s tasks is to support children who act as carers for someone in their family.
Two of these young people, Aidan and Karman, gave speeches to the more than 100 participants in the tournament, which Mr Abbs said touched hearts.
