Veterans from a golf club are organising a special event to raise money for treatment for injured military veterans.

The Veterans’ Section of the Addington Court Golf Club is organising the event, open to all golfers, to raise money for Headley Court, in Leatherhead, a rehabilitation centre for injured servicemen and women.

Local businesses have given prizes for the day, and Crown Golf, the owner of Addington Court Golf Club, has donated a year’s free golf at Addington Court Golf Centre and their 29 sister golf clubs nationwide as a prize.

Organisers hope to raise at least £2,000 at the event on April 14. The £30 entrance fee includes entry to the golf event, coffee on arrival and a buffet lunch including wine.

A Nissan car will be up for grabs for the first competitor who scores a hole-in-one on the eighth hole, and there will also be a raffle later on.

Anyone interested in applying for raffle tickets, or who would like to support the cause, should contact organisers Arthur Lyddall on 020 8657 8240 or ajl@arthurlyddall.co.uk or Frank Cantelo on 020 8656 9202 or fradaca@blueyonder.co.uk.
