The Friends of Hospice recently held its fifth annual Ladies Golf Tournament.

A spokesperson said, “Fourteen teams took part in Friends of Hospice’s fifth annual Ladies Golf Tournament, playing 18 holes at Turtle Bay.

“The annual event, which is a celebration of women’s partnership and friendship as well as a major fundraiser from Friends of Hospice, has grown in popularity and creativity each year. ‘Butterflies and Bees’ was the chosen theme for the latest event and the golfers embraced it with gusto, dressing in florals and bug inspired outfits and decking out their golf carts festively.

“Funds raised will go towards Friends of Hospice’s programmes, which support those requiring hospice and palliative care along with their loved ones. The event was made possible by its sponsors: Chubb, Everen, Markel, Lindo’s and Gosling’s.

“The top three winning teams were Markel’s Guardians of the Greens [Ebonie Cox, Dominique Richardson, Tiye Williams and Linda O’Brien] in first place, followed by with Dolly’s B&B’s [Shirley Higgins, Caroline Svensen, Sandy Dyer and Michelle Quinlan] placing second and Chubb’s Ms. Bee-Hiven [Sarah Walsh, Leigh Ann Hobday, Erin Cooney and Olivia Bachelet] coming third. The closest to the pin award went to Ms Bee-Hiven’s Sarah Walsh, on hole #2, jointly with Guardians of the Greens’ Ebonie Cox, who claimed hole #11.

“Outside of performance prizes, Arch Re’s Queen Bee Flutter Bies [Tanisha Taylor, Wolette Smith, Phillipa Jones and Shakira Jones] were dubbed the Best Dressed Team while the Markel’s Guardians of the Greens took home the award for Best Decorated Cart. Argo’s Pollination Infiltration were recognised for their extraordinary team building skills during a warm-up game of marshmallow tower. Chubb’s Ms. Bee-Hiven’s Sarah Walsh was the lucky winner of the Butterfly or Bee activity.”

Jennifer Mahoney, Executive Director of the Friends of Hospice, said, “We are so grateful to have had so many members of the community show up to support Friends of Hospice’s Fifth Annual Ladies’ Golf Tournament. This is a hugely fun event and an important fundraiser for our programmes supporting those in need of hospice or palliative care, as well as their loved ones.

:We also want to give a big thank you to our sponsors, who make these fundraising events possible.”
