The annual event took place at Kidderminster Golf Club on June 2 and 3, continuing a fundraising tradition which has run for almost seven decades.

Organisers said the tournament attracted its highest number of players and sponsors to date. More than 80 golfers took part on the first day, followed by more than 60 on the second.

Funds raised will be shared between Macmillan Cancer Support, Forest Dogs Rescue, The Odell Centre, The Emily Jordan Foundation and Friends of the Elderly.

Joint chairman Shaun Lewis thanked the tournament’s volunteers, sponsors and main sponsor Likewise for supporting the event.

He said good weather across both days had helped make the tournament a success and allowed organisers to increase the amount donated to the charities.

The competition has returned to Kidderminster Golf Club each year since it began, bringing together golfers, businesses and supporters to raise money for organisations working in and around the town.
