An Amazing Day at the Isle of Purbeck Golf Course Supporting #Willdoes 🌟

What an incredible day we had at the Isle of Purbeck Golf Course for our annual #Willdoes Charity Golf Day, kindly sponsored by FFT (Faithorn Farrell Timms Architects).

This marks the third year that Robin from FFT has generously supported the event as sponsor — and it just keeps getting better each year!

We were thrilled to welcome 23 teams, with some travelling from as far as Manchester to take part. The event took place on the stunning Isle of Purbeck Championship Course, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect.

We were also delighted to have special guests DJ and Radio 2 presenter Gary Davies and his wife JJ join us for the day!

🏆 Congratulations to the winners:

1st Place – The Knoll House
2nd Place – Parkgate (Martin Fitzpatrick)
3rd Place – Fore Time Seekers (Chas Kirkby)

New team member Barry Scalon summed it up perfectly:

“The event was amazing last week! Our customer loved it. Definitely the best charity golf day we have been to.”

While we’re still finalising the figures, it looks like we’ve raised over £12,000 for the #Willdoes charity — an incredible result! 👏

As always, our famous Wheelbarrow of Wine raffle proved extremely popular 🍷, and we’re so grateful for the generous donations that make this event so special.
