Going funny for money for Red Nose Day at Horsham Golf Club
Every March the Red Nose Day campaign uses comedy to raise funds for great causes.
This year the charity encouraged everyone to take themselves funny for money, and the Horsham Golf ladies invited the senior section to join them in a fun-filled three-ball Texas Scramble competition.
The contest was enhanced by several ‘funny’ challenges along the way, beginning with teeing off with a red nose instead of a golf ball and finishing every hole by putting with a ‘wibbly’ ball.
The weather was ideal for a Red Nose Charity Day and there was a wonderful response to the request for everyone to dress in style, with many of the ladies really getting into the spirit and turning the course red.
There was a prize for the person who wore the highest number of red items and that was won by Rita Rice, who managed an impressive 21 different things.
At the Halfway Hut there were very welcome Red Nose cakes provided where the players took a short break and shared their funny encounters.
Congratulations go to Roger Martin, Carol Dell and Lawrence Hughes who won the competition and celebrated by posing with their red noses on the first tee.
Also successfully tackling the comedy drives and wibbly golf balls, Matt Price and Mark Smith took second place playing as a pair.
The fabulous day ended in the ‘Café Upstairs’ where all the golfers enjoyed a slice of pizza and a drink as the prizes were given out.
The Horsham Ladies had also organised a popular raffle resulting in the grand total of all the day’s fundraising being a magnificent £905.61. A big thank you and congratulations to everyone who took part.
