The KMS Partners team scooped first prize, with Billingham Golf Club’s Captain’s team coming in at second place and the club’s members’ team taking third spot in the event. Tomlinson Hall also had a good day, with our ‘B’ team reaching fourth place and Andrew Savory, of our ‘A’ team winning the Nearest The Pin prize. Ian Flounders – also a member of our ‘A’ team – was the winner of the Longest Drive prize.

Colin Simpson, business development director of Tomlinson Hall and a patron of The Billingham Legacy Foundation, said: “We’d like to thank everyone who contributed to making the event such a huge success, and supported The Billingham Legacy Foundation in its efforts to improve the lives of people in our local community.
