The tournament saw 20 teams of 4 players compete in a four-ball better-ball format tournament with a series of mini competitions including longest drive, nearest the pin, and beat the pro with ex-Somerset cricketer turned professional golfer, Peter Trego.
After four hours on the course, our congratulations went to the Somerset County Cricket Club team, who emerged victorious.
The golf was followed by a sit-down meal and an exclusive Q&A with past-and-present Somerset cricketers Jos Buttler, Peter Trego, Jack Leach and Tom Banton. Guests then enjoyed a charity raffles and auction.
Our thanks go to The Jockey Club, The Crescent Clinic, Augustus, The Manchester United Foundation, Somerset Cricket Club, Gloucester Rugby Club, Jos Buttler, Jack Leach and Tom Banton for their generous prize donations.
We would also like to thank Talking Stick Digital, Maitland Walker and AC Mole for their hole sponsorship.
Speaking on the success of the day, James Regan, Cooper Associates Foundation Champion, commented; “It was fantastic to see so many teams coming together in support of the Foundation. The Foundation sits at the heart of the Cooper Associates Group values, and we are so grateful to everyone who contributed both on and off the course. Special thanks to Mendip Springs Golf Club for hosting such a brilliant event.”
