The highest ever number of teams entered the annual event at
Blankney Golf Club which raised £4,220 for the children's
charity - beating last year's total of £4,000.
KIDS Strut, formerly known as Strut in the Community, is a
charity that supports local children with disabilities and their
families.
Melanie Parsons, Assistant Director of KIDS Strut, said: "We're
absolutely delighted that Mundys managed to raise so much money at
their golf day and it was great to see so many people taking
part.
"Donations are vital for the future of our charity and the work
we do supporting local disabled children and their families. It's
promising that even in such difficult financial times people are so
generous and Mundys have been able to beat the amount raised last
year.
"We'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who took part and
to the staff at Mundys who put so much effort into organising such
a fantastic event."
The winning men's team on the day were the Lincoln City
Sufferers and the Pro Shop Babes took first place for the ladies
out of a record 36 teams that entered.
Internationally renowned trick golf show maestro David Edwards,
who set the record at the Scottish Golf Show by hitting 312 golf
balls in three minutes, entertained crowds at the event with a show
involving his trademark 'scissor shots' and use of original clubs
including one made from hose pipe, another from a cricket bat and a
third from a fishing rod!
Michael Bentley from Anthony Clark Solicitors in Lincoln was the
lucky winner of 2012 Olympic tickets with overnight accommodation
in the charity raffle.
Mundy's Senior Partner Philip Barnatt said they were glad to
have raised such a significant amount for the charity.
"It's fantastic that we've managed to beat last year's total for
Strut," said Philip. "Everyone who took part in the golf day had a
brilliant time and really enjoyed themselves which was our main
aim.
"It was great having David Edwards at the event entertaining
guests and we had an amazing first prize for the raffle and some
very generous donations for the auction. We're particularly
grateful to our main sponsor for the day Danwoods who have
supported us every year.
"It's terrific to see all of the effort that went in to
organising the event pay off. The money we raised is going to a
charity which makes a real difference to so many families' lives in
Lincoln and we're very grateful to everyone who supported us on the
day."
Mundys Charity Golf Day has been running for the last six years
and in that time has raised over £20,000 for charity.
