Eighteen teams representing various businesses and organisations in Nottingham tee’d off for the annual golf event – with financial consultants Brewin Dolphin crowned runners up.

The team from construction and project management consultants Turner & Townsend, with a winning score of 100 points, was awarded the coveted cup as well as a free four-ball game at the Nottinghamshire Golf and Country Club, in Stragglethorpe.

Runners up Brewin Dolphin won a voucher for a meal at restaurant Chino Latino, in the Park Plaza on Maid Marian Way.

In addition to the first and second place teams, taking part were representatives from (in order from highest to lowest scoring): Jamieson Christie, John Pye Property; Browne Jacobson, UHY Hacker Young, Actons, CEMA, Buckles Law, BEC Consulting, Yorkshire Bank, Earl & Pelham, Double Impact, Foremost Security, Gas Container Services, Air IT, Affinity Asset Finance and GF Tomlinson.

Through a combination of sponsorship, a raffle and entry fees, the event also raised £550 for local charity Double Impact, which helps people in the region who are recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.
