Youngs Golf Day Raises over £2,000 for Wooden Spoon Charity

In a wonderful display of community spirit and generosity, the recent Youngs Golf Day event proved to be a resounding success, raising an impressive £2,110.67 for the Wooden Spoon charity. The event, held under clear skies and a spirit of camaraderie, brought together avid golfers and philanthropists alike to support this remarkable cause, and our thanks go to the fantastic staff at Kingswood Golf Club.

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the “Nearest Pin Challenge” on hole 17, where Wooden Spoon’s very own Matt Bishop stood as the overseer. With a keen eye and supportive presence, Bishop added an extra layer of excitement to the event. Participants eagerly took their swings, hoping to land their ball closest to the pin and earn the coveted bragging rights.

The funds raised from this event will go a long way in supporting Wooden Spoon’s mission. Known as the children’s charity of rugby, Wooden Spoon transforms the lives of children and young people with disabilities or facing disadvantage through the power of rugby. Their projects and initiatives provide critical resources and opportunities, making a meaningful impact on countless lives.

A huge thank you to all our golfers, sponsors, and volunteers – your contributions have made a significant difference.”

The day was filled with competitive spirit, laughter, and a shared commitment to giving back. Golfers of all skill levels enjoyed the picturesque course, engaging in friendly competition while keeping the larger goal in mind. The event concluded with a celebratory reception where participants reflected on their day and the substantial funds raised.

Matt Bishop also shared his thoughts on the event, saying, “Being part of the Nearest Pin Challenge was a fantastic experience. Watching everyone come together, have fun, and support Wooden Spoon was truly heartwarming. These funds will go a long way in helping us continue our mission.”

The success of Youngs Golf Day is a testament to the power of community and the positive impact that can be achieved when people come together for a common cause. As Wooden Spoon continues its vital work, events like these provide essential support, ensuring that more children and young people can benefit from their life-changing programs.
