A great day was enjoyed by all - CFA Golf Day 18 April 2024

The CFA’s annual golf event at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield took place on 18 April and was thankfully blessed with good weather (not guaranteed after all the rain we have had in recent months).

Following unprecedented demand for the event this year with 66 golfers taking part, the competition was run across two courses, the prestigious Brabazon course (the spiritual home of the Ryder Cup) and the PGA course.

Following registration where all competitors were given Belfry goody bags including golf balls specially branded to mark the CFA’s 50th Anniversary, the golfers enjoyed a bacon roll and a hot drink to start the day.  The driving range was kept busy with many of the golfers making use of their free practice tokens before teeing off.

The Longest Drive had been allocated to the 16th hole on the Brabazon course and the 12th hole on the PGA.  Nearest the Pin was allocated to the 7th hole on the Brabazon and the 3rd hole on the PGA.   

After completion of their rounds the golfers enjoyed a well-deserved drink and buffet whilst they waited for the scores to be compiled and the winners announced.

This year the competition had sponsors for the prizes, and we would like to thank them all for their support.

After a very close competition, the results were as follows:

• Individual Winner: Craig Ansty (of Loughton Contracts) who won a £100 Amazon voucher and trophy - see photo right, Craig being presented with his prize by Paul Godfrey of Genesis Global Systems Ltd.
