Vicky commented: “It was another successful golf day for Barnsley Hospice – we banked £6,910.72 in total – and special thanks goes to event sponsor Lifetime.”

Lady golfer Sheila Duffy, who played with one of the teams, said: “I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done to all the organisers and a fantastic amount raised – I just wish I’d played better!”

The most colourfully attired team was Raleys Solicitors. They were almost as bright as the sunshine!
