GOLFERS teed off with a different sort of drive – a charity one.

Almost 96 golfers took to the fairways at Lymm Golf Club to raise money for The Relationships Centre.

Tailormade, a financial services company based on Arnold Street, Warrington town centre, hosts a charity golf day each year and this month’s event raised £2,500 for the charity.

The day was organised by Big Red Events, a Warrington-based company which specialises in golf and sporting days.

Company director Robert Shaw said he was delighted the day was such a success.

“We had 24 teams playing,” he said.

“I heard about The Relationships Centre through a business associate who had done work with them so I knew I wanted to support a local charity.

“The day, on October 9, has already raised £2,500 but with money still coming in it could rise to £3,000.”

Lucy Hindmarch, acting director of the Gateway-based charity, said: “We were delighted to be chosen as its charity of the year as we feel it demonstrates the support that the private sector can offer charities in Warrington.

“The issues our charity tackles affects everyone as we all have relationships and Tailormade have recognised this.”
