Southend Borough Combination Veterans League has been holding a golfing event to raise money for children’s hospice Little Havens – raising over £3,000 over the past two days. It hopes to raise a further £1000 today, when over twelve teams of four golfers will play a fourball stableford competition at Lord’s Golf Course in Hullbridge Road, featuring longest drive and nearest to the pin competitions as well!

Organised by Garry Nelson, Dan Albon and Doug Fisher of Leisure Link Golf, the day will conclude with a dinner at the clubhouse and a relaxing evening in front of England’s World Cup qualifying match against Belarus. More than a hundred golfers are expected to turn up, including Stuart Slater of West Ham United fame, who will dig out his old golf clothes to join the ranks of those raising money for a very worthwhile cause.
