The final leg of the KHG Funds Senior Open was held at Ramsey Golf Club on 5th September and was attended by His Excellency Adam Wood and Charlotte Wild a member of the Creechurch Sports Academy, who is currently playing on the Ladies European Access Tour.
The competitors arrived to the usual warm KHG hospitality, with pastries and drinks along with the customary golf bag and a gift from KHG Funds. The course looked in magnificent condition and the glorious sunshine provided the perfect finale to this year’s tournament.
The scores reflected the good weather conditions with players scoring an average of 30 points.
The players were welcomed off the 18th green to the KHG Pimm’s stand on the terrace whilst they handed in their scorecards for the day.
