Law firm charity golf event raises £3000

The hottest day of the year gave a great start to the Sydney Mitchell Charity Golf Competition at Copt Heath Golf Club.

Generous golfers, Professional Golfers' Association (PFA) trainees and the Sydney Mitchell team came together to raise almost £3000 for local Midlands' charities: Age UK Solihull and the Buddy Bags Foundation (a charity that supports children who enter emergency care after fleeing violent situations at home).

Property company Move Reports won the competition, which was played under Stableford rules. Eastcote Wealth Management came in a very close 2nd place and Handelsbanken, a relationship bank, in 3rd.

It was an exciting competition with Mulligans, Jokers and Two 's Club adding a twist to the competition, together with a raffle raising an additional £465 on the day.

Andy Bray of Move Reports and Ed Hull of Handelsbanken were on fine form winning the longest drive and nearest to the pin respectively.

The Two 's Club was won by Kobe Palmer (PGA Trainee) scoring an impressive 2 on hole 3.

Due to their skills, the PGA trainees generously agreed not to be included in the competition prizes.

Karen Moores, senior partner at Sydney Mitchell presented the prizes on the day and said: “Thank you to all of our players and supporters and especially the PGA Trainees who were diligent with their scoring and support on the day. ”

“It is such a pleasure to be able to support our chosen charities, Age UK Solihull and the Buddy Bag Foundation. The generosity of all those attending was outstanding and in particular Move Reports who also sponsored a hole for £500. ”

Rebecca Jacob of Age UK Solihull, said: “Sydney Mitchell has been a great supporter of Age UK Solihull for many years; even before selecting us for their Charity of the year. We are a local charity and the funds raised from Sydney Mitchell's Golf Day will help us provide much-needed support to older people in the Solihull borough. Thank you to everyone for your generosity - it will help make a real difference in our community."

Karen Williams of the Buddy Bag Foundation, added: "Thank You Sydney Mitchell for your continued support"
