The winning team from wholesaler DW

The first post-Covid IOR Northern Branch Golf Day was held at the stunning Close House, near Newcastle, and welcomed a mix of familiar faces and first-time participants.

More than £1,300 was raised for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, which funds projects within the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust that directly benefit cancer patients from across the region and contribute significantly to international research into the disease.

The day saw a mix of cloud and sunny spells, with a stiff breeze at times to keep the competitors on their toes. There was also a surprise addition to the line-up, with Premier League referee Michael Oliver stepping in to help make up a team that was short of players!

Team winners were wholesaler DW, with UNG taking second place and Ventilation Supplies third.

Individual prize winners were:

Nearest Pin: Callum Thompson (Green Zone Survey)
Longest Drive: Dan Wood (Acrol)
Long Putt Challenge: Steve Mclean (Acrol)
Beat the Pro: Jon Douglas (Project Refrigeration)

The IOR Northern Branch extended its heartfelt thanks to all who participated, volunteered and contributed in various ways to make the event a resounding success, with special thanks to all sponsors and Close House for the essential support and prizes.

Given the success and positive feedback from the event, planning is already underway for next year's golf day and annual dinner. More information will be published on the IOR Northern Region Branch Linkedin page.
