Record numbers at BHSF annual golf day

Eighteen teams from all over the country teed off for the annual golf day of BHSF, the Birmingham-based healthcare insurer.

It was held at Stonebridge Golf Club, Meriden, for clients and intermediaries of the company and the competition was followed by a presentation dinner.

Team winners were Timet UK; overall individual winner was Simon Fell from Jardine Lloyd Thomspon; nearest the pin Steve Ellis (Premier Choice); longest drive Darren Grady (Prison Officers Association) and the bandit prize went to Chris Gunnell of First Assure Ltd.

Brian Hall, BHSF marketing director, said: “It was a very successful day with a record number of entries and keen competition”.

On the day golfers sportingly played in pink to raise money for The Genesis Appeal - the UK's only charity entirely dedicated to the prevention of breast cancer. All entry fees and 'fines' for not wearing pink, along with money raised through the raffle to win a jaguar car of your choice for the weekend, were handed over to The Genesis Appeal at the after dinner presentation. BHSF kindly cash matched the money raised, resulting in a total of £1,700 being donated to the charity.
