BMF Charity Golf Day raises £8,000
A charity golf day held by the Builders merchants Federation (BMF) at the JCB Golf and Country Club raised £8,000 for the Lighthouse Club, the construction industry charity.
Ten teams of four players from merchants and suppliers to the building materials industry took part in the day to raise funds for the BMF charity of the year, which provides financial and emotional support to the construction community and their families.
The winning team from Browns Builders Merchants comprised Neal Myers, Paul White, Jerry Wheeler and Joe Wheeler.
Joe Wheeler also finished the day with the best individual score. Paul Londors of LMR Building Supplies won the prize for Nearest the Pin, while Phil Brittain, a guest of Monument Tools, won the Longest Drive.
All the players also tested their skills against the club professional, Dan Bourne, with 10 of them emerging victorious.
