More than 20 teams of golfers took part in a tee-rific fund-raiser supporting a Wigan charity.

Hindley Hall Golf Club hosted a competition across 18 holes, followed by a two-course meal, prize presentation, raffle and silent auction.

The golf day raised £8,000 for Wigan and Leigh Hospice and celebrated the charity’s 40th anniversary.

It proved to be so successful that it will now become an annual fund-raiser.

And more cash will soon be rolling in, as both Haydock Park and Hindley Hall golf clubs have chosen the hospice as their charity of the year.

The Hindley-based hospice must raise £12,000 a day to keep its services running for patients with life-limiting illnesses and conditions and their families.

The next fund-raiser will be a fashion show at Hindley Community Sports and Social Club at 7.30pm on Friday, October 13.

Tickets are now available on the hospice’s website or by emailing [email protected].
