Eaton Golf Club Group have raised more than £10,000 for two charities at their annual golf day.
The £10,100 was generated for Countess of Chester Hospital and the Alzheimer’s Society, through a Charity Pro-Am Golf Day ran in conjunction with Sandstone Care Group.
On the day of June 6, golfers participated in a friendly competition between local businesses at the Pro-Am Tournament.
The money raised will assist the Countess of Chester Hospital Coronary Care Unit, helping individuals with serious heart conditions and those post-coronary surgery.
It will also provide support for the Alzheimer's Society, the leading national charity supporting those living with dementia and funds dementia research.
