GreenMeadow Golf Club Ladies raises record sum for Ty Hafan
GreenMeadow Golf and Country Club Ladies held their annual Tŷ Hafan Fun Day Open on Sunday, June 1, managing to raise a record-breaking £2,579 for the Tŷ Hafan children's hospice.
A total of 63 ladies participated in the fun-filled event, with many dressed in pirate-themed outfits.
Teams from as far as Swindon also joined in the fun.
All the golf and raffle prizes were donated, meaning every penny raised went to the hospice.
The club also donated all the green fees directly to the charity.
The winners of the day were the team from Tredegar Park Golf Club, which included D. Arlett, L. Maggs, T. Matthews, and J. Peebles.
Second place went to J. Hayes, N. Edwards, J. Haycock, and P. Perkins from Woodlake Park Golf Club.
Third place was taken by C. Lubin, P. Feeney, P. Kirkup, and H. Fleming from Bassett Down Golf Club.
The success of the day was made possible by the generous support and contributions from local businesses, neighbouring golf clubs, members, friends, and family.
The club's ladies team also recently beat Cardiff Ladies in the first round of the Welsh team championships at Newport Golf Club on May 17.
For the fourth year running, they will now compete in the All Wales Finals, which will be held at Clyne Golf Club on August 16 and 17.
The club's junior team also won their first Gwent Golf Union League match 3-1 against Brynmeadows in May.
