Golf day raises £7,500 for new Southampton heart failure unit

Now in its fifteenth year, Remedy Oak Golf Club’s annual golf day has raised an impressive £7,500 for a new heart failure unit in the University Hospital Southampton.

Held in honour of Jim Monro - a celebrated heart surgeon who operated on more than 12,000 patients at the hospital -  the golf day saw 84 players teeing off for a day of competitive golf at Remedy Oak Golf Club in the heart of Dorset.

Through a charity auction and raffle, the day raised funds for renovations at the D2 ward at the University Hospital Southampton and help support its efforts to become the UK’s leading heart failure unit.

After a day of golfing in the glorious sunshine, Hi-Acre Construction claimed top honours, taking home the Jim Monro Memorial Trophy as well ‘Longest Drive’ and ‘Nearest the Pin’.

Second place went to C Ford Plastering, third to James Munce’s second team and Luke Donnelly of Liberty Leasing secured the ‘Beat the Pro’ prize.

“I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to the event organisers and sponsors whose generosity and hard work made the day such a success.”
