ONE 4 BALL FROM RUDDING PARK, 12 GOLF COURSES, 4 DAYS AND OVER \u00a37,600 FOR SAINT MICHAEL\u2019S HOSPICE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17July 2023<\/strong> \u2013 a team from Rudding Park<\/a> in Harrogate, North Yorkshire have completed the ultimate golf challenge; playing all 12 golf courses in the Harrogate District Union over four
consecutive days and raised over \u00a37,600 for Saint Michaels Hospice<\/a>, the Rudding Park Golf Captain\u2019s charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Banks (Rudding Park Chairman), David Balbi (Rudding Park Golf Captain), James King(Rudding Park Head of Golf) and Marc Rice (Rudding Park member) started the challenge at
Oakdale Golf Club on Monday 10 July teeing off at 6.30am and finishing at Rudding Park at on Thursday 13 July at 7.30pm. Over the course the four days they played three courses each day
including: Harrogate, Knaresborough<\/a>, Masham, Bedale, Romanby, Ilkley<\/a>, Otley, Pannal, Thirsk & Northallerton, Ripon and Rudding Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Balbi, the inspiration behind the challenge said; \u201cI thought it would a difficult yet fun challenge, which it was even if my feet don\u2019t currently agree! We must thank all the Club\u2019s in the
Harrogate and District Union who were kind enough to extend their hospitality and the Captains of the clubs, many of whom welcome us personally. The chance to raise funds for Saint Michael Hospice and support their amazing work kept us going. A huge thank you to everyone who has donated, several people set Marc his own challenge of breaking the 900 shot target and thankfully, he came in at 878 so that should help boost the fundraising pot too! The feeling coming up 18 was slightly surreal, a mixture of exhaustion and elation, however the support we received from the crowd on 18 spurred us on. What a wonderful reception, for a wonderful cause and I cannot tell you how good that beer tasted!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the four days the team played 216 holes, walked 80 miles and lost a number of balls. It is still possible to show your support, donate at JustGiving Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
