GET into the swing of things with the Mayor of Warrington.

Walton Hall Golf Course will be the venue for the Mayor’s Charity Golf Day on Saturday April 30.

The Mayor of Warrington, Cllr Maureen Creaghan, said: “This golf day is a great way for people to come together and have a fun-filled day, while helping to raise money for charities that do vital work to support people in Warrington.

“My brother and Consort, John, is a keen golfer and will be coming along to take part. We can’t wait to get out there, meet some new people and enjoy a wonderful day out at this beautiful course.

“I would like to thank Nick and Paul, and the team at Walton, for their help to organise this event and I’m looking forward to a fantastic occasion. Fingers crossed for a beautiful, blue-sky day!”

The course and club is run by golf pros Nick Stark and Paul Hodgson who both have more than 20 years professional experience.

The tournament will be a Calcutta Stableford game, where golfers tee off in groups of four, with each golfer playing their own ball throughout. 

Entry is £200 for a team of four, or £60 for individuals. Men must have a maximum handicap of 28 and ladies, a maximum handicap of 36.

There will be prizes for the winning team and runners up, and also an award for the nearest the pin and longest drive.

All proceeds will go towards the Mayor’s Charity Appeal 2020-22 which supports the following organisations:

• Forget Me Not – caring for patients with Alzheimer’s and Dementia

• JUMP – providing photograph and film memories for children with life limiting illnesses in the North West and Wales
