Pub's golf day was a winner for the hospice

The Star Inn at Kirkhamgate has raised £550 for Wakefield Hospice by staging a Ryder Cup style golf day.

The event was held at Low Laithes Golf Club on September 30 and featured 32 players split into two teams.

The Star Inn’s manager Dan Somers, who organised it, said :”It was a great day. Last year we only had 12 players so this year was a much bigger turnout and we hope to make it even bigger next year.”

The competition was won by Dan’s All Stars winning 5-3.
