Golfers raise £20,000 for Autism Jersey

Sponsored by JT, the event attracted 22 teams who enjoyed perfect weather for the tournament, which was followed by lunch at Les Creux Bowls Club because work is being done to repair and upgrade La Moye’s clubhouse.

The winning team was Kedge Capital, with a score of 94, followed by Continuum with 91 and Estera with 89. Individual prizes went to Dan Burchell, of CPA Global, for the men’s longest drive; to Brona Lambert, of Moore Stephens, for the women’s longest drive; and to Steve Morgan, of Quilter Cheviot, for nearest the pin competition.

A raffle and auction, including a golf flag signed by Henrik Stenson, winner of the 145th Open Championship, boosted the funds raised, which will go directly towards the development of a purpose-built Autism Centre in Jersey.

Autism Jersey chairman Nick Winsor said that the day had, once again, been a great success and that he was delighted that their patron, the Lieutenant-Governor, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton, was able to attend.

‘The important work of Autism Jersey would not be possible without the generous support of local businesses. I would like to make a special mention of the sponsor for the day, JT,’ he added.
