Property news: BHEAA Presidents Cup Golf Day
Brighton & Hove Estate Agents Association are holding a charity golfing tournament on Monday 30 June. The BHEAA Presidents Cup Golf Day will be held at Singing Holes golf course, near Albourne. The day will consist of two games – a morning Texas Scramble on the Valley Course, followed by a Stableford competition in the afternoon over the treacherous River-Lake Course. It’s all rounded off with prizes and an indoor BBQ.
The organisers hope the event will be a good chance to meet others in the industry: “This prestigious event is open to all and we look forward to meeting, networking, having a good time and raising money for good causes with as many new friends and contacts as wish to partake.” All well as putting, participants are encouraged to sponsor one of the course’s 27 holes. In exchange for a charitable donation they will be able to advertise their firm on hoardings at each of the tees. Golfers will also expected to make a £1 forfeit donation if any of their shots go seriously awry.
The BHEAA also offers some advice to potential golfers: “There are three distinct ‘nines’ – the River, the Valley and the Lake. Lingering memories will be of demanding drives on the opening two holes of the River nine, and of two exhilarating par 3s: the ninth on the river, where the green is situated beyond a willow tree which guards a lake, and the second on the Lake Course, known as the Island Hole. Negotiate these holes safely and a good score beckons. However beware, for the characteristics, which add to the charm and beauty of the course, also represent some of its sternest tests. Yes, the water hazards are picturesque but they harbour an abundance of wildlife and golf balls!
The cost per person is £60 and will include food, prizes and 27 holes of golf. If you would like to participate or if you would like to donate £50 to sponsor a hole, please contact andrewhovey@leaders.co.uk.
