On October 3rd, after months of being postponed, the 14th memorial golf day for Jack took place – in strict accordance with current government guidelines – at Ham Manor Golf Club.
Jack’s dad, Dave told us, “We had 47 golfers playing in a Texas Scramble format in teams of 4. This year, due to Covid 19, it was very different to previous years – we all had masks on in the clubhouse until we were sitting down to eat or drink, and table service was provided. Also, all teams had hand sanitiser with them out on the course in case of needing to touch the ‘nearest the pin’ markers, and of course we couldn’t take our usual group photo.
I am pleased to say that my team, Team Jack, won again for the third year running! And I would like to add that my team won despite me, not because of me – I played awful on the day!”
The event raised a wonderful amount of money towards research – partly from entrance fees, and donations from some very lovely family members, but also from the auction of very popular four-ball golf vouchers which were generously donated by various golf clubs written to by Dave.
Dave and Karen, we salute you and all who supported yet another hugely successful golf tournament in Jack’s memory. Pulling that off, despite the current restrictions, is truly impressive. We remain truly grateful – thank you!
And we are so thrilled that Team Jack won the trophy – how truly fitting.
