Stewart Holland and his team at the Rockinghorse Golf Day
Golf lovers from around Sussex helped to raise £5,600 at the Rockinghorse Annual Golf Day.
Fifty-six eager golfers, making up 14 teams, attended the Rockinghorse Annual Golf Day at the Mid Sussex Golf Club in Ditchling on 29 September.
Set in the beautiful surroundings of the South Downs, the Mid Sussex Golf Club proved to be a fantastic venue for the teams to enjoy 18 holes of golf followed by a delicious lunch. Thanks to a range of fundraising throughout the day, including nearest to the pin, beat the pro, goodie bags, a raffle and an auction, the event raised thousands of pounds which will help fund ongoing projects and services across Sussex.
The winners for the second year running were Synchronicity, winning our Rockinghorse trophy that was kindly provided by James Ross Jewellers.
