A veterans golf tournament has raised £100 for sight loss charity Galloway’s.
Members of Ashton Golf Centre in Lancaster played for the annual Huddy Cup, donated by former player Derrick Hudson, who is partially sighted.
Derrick, 91, a grandfather-of-four from Morecambe, said: “I started playing golf when I was 56 but I only became a member of Ashton Golf Centre 10 years ago.
"I started the Vets Trophy Team with 12 to 15 members and we began playing competitions between ourselves with prizes.
I was lucky enough to win the cup so when I was unable to play three years ago because of my sight, I donated the cup back and it was named the Huddy Cup after my nickname.
The club charged a fee and our treasurer made it up to £100, so we donated the money to our chosen charity.
“We have done this annually ever since and this is the second year we raised money for Galloway’s because they have been a tremendous help to me and I am grateful for all they have done for me.”
Pam Whitaker, sight loss advisor at Galloway’s in Morecambe, said: “This is such a lovely gesture from Derrick and his fellow team mates. We really appreciate the donation, which will help blind and partially sighted people across Lancashire and Sefton.”
