Golf Day 2023 Recap

On Thursday 28^th September, 18 teams of avid golfers arrived at Barnham Broom, ready to go club to club across 18 holes.

Ex City ‘keeper Bryan Gunn returned to captain his team for the tenth instalment of Golf Day with club legend Wes Hoolahan making his debut as team leader in place of previous captain Dean Ashton.

In total, 72 golfers competed, with half representing Team Gunn and the other half siding with his opponent on Team Wes. The teams spent hours out on the immaculate Barnham Broom course, returning to the clubhouse late afternoon for a three-course meal and drinks from the bar.

Once the teams were well fed, the evening was brought to a close by a series of live auctions, a raffle and an intriguing game of ‘heads or tails’; Gunn v Wes style, all of which contributed to an incredible total of £10,000.

After enduring two-years of defeat, Gunny finally raised the trophy with his team claiming victory this year!
