72 Holes of Golf, 300 Shots and 20 Mile Walk

A team from the 4 star Lea Marston Hotel and Spa in Sutton Coldfield took part in the Macmillan Longest Day Golf Challenge.

4 Lea Marston staff members (Darren Lewis, James Lewis, Harry Kelly and Dan Parsons) were joined by a team of 7 Lea Marston Golf Members to take part in the Macmillan Longest Day Golf Challenge.

On the 21^st June, a very typical rainy summer’s day, each team member succeeded in playing 72 holes of golf, 300 shots and a 20 mile walk on the Lea Marston Golf Course.

Each team member collected sponsorship prior to completing the challenge and collectively raised £2000 for Macmillan Cancer Support. Macmillan supports millions of people affected by cancer. Lea Marston Golf Manager Darren Lewis is delighted with this achievement, “It was an exhausting day for all involved, but we are delighted in raising this money to support the Macmillan charity”. Through doing this we will be fundraising for Macmillan which supports millions of people affected by cancer.

The challenge was part of a nationwide initiative which will see some 300 teams up and down the country playing four rounds of golf in one day. Last year, £395,000 was raised nationally and it is hoped about £500,000 will be raised this year.
