Teams tee-off at Bracknell charity golf day

Fourteen teams of golfers put their putting skills to the test this week when they took part in the Bracknell Mayor's annual charity golf day at Mill Ride Golf Club in Ascot.

The event was held in aid of Sebastian's Action Trust, the charity supported by Cllr Mrs Jacqui Ryder, the Mayor of the Borough of Bracknell Forest, and it is hoped almost £4,000 was raised for this worthy cause.

The winning team at the event was the Flaming Emergency Specialists who won new golf bags each. Second place was taken by The Wokingham Times Old Boys who won a putter each.

The day ended with a slap-up meal and a charity auction in the club house where all competitors got together and shared stories about their day.

Bracknell Cllr Mrs Ryder said: "I was amazed at how much support we got for this year's annual charity golf day, which is an important event in the mayor's calendar. We all had a great day, and everyone was so generous and got involved in the good natured rivalry, while raising lots of money for Sebastian's Action Trust at the same time."
