COVENTRY and Warwickshire businesses will be taking part in the annual golf day for charity.
The Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce’s annual president’s golf day is taking place at Whitefield’s Golf Course on June, 21.
The day will be raising money for leading Coventry and Warwickshire charity The Myton Hospices.
The event will be played in a pairs format and to handicap, so seasoned players can compete alongside newcomers – sponsored by Meriden fire protection specialist TBL Fire Protection and Coventry office of accountancy firm Azets.
For the first time, the top two pairs will go onto compete in a national final against the best players from other charity tournaments.
The winning region will host next years tournament.
Corin Crane, chief executive of the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “We’re delighted to be bringing back the President’s Golf Day for a third time, and we’re really excited to see which pairs will make it through to the national final.
“It’s not only a chance for talented players to potentially represent Coventry & Warwickshire on the national stage, but to raise money for a wonderful charity in Myton Hospices and to network with companies in a beautiful setting at the Draycote Hotel.”
Chris Willmott, partnerships manager at Myton Hospices, said he is incredibly grateful to the CHamber and its sponsors for organising the event to raise cash.
“We’re incredibly grateful to the Chamber, its sponsors and the Draycote Hotel for organising this fantastic event to raise money for The Myton Hospices.
“80 per cent of our funding comes from donations, with Myton having to raise a staggering £12.5million this year to continue to provide our services free of charge, so events like this really make a massive difference to our ability to provide end-of-life care to our patients, from diagnosis to death.”
