And Hallett battled through the field with a score of 93 gross, 72 net, to pip club captain Keith Dawson, 77 gross and 72 net. Darren Smith rounded off the top three with 79 gross, 73 net.

BINFIELD golfer Darren Hatherley has just returned from a trip of a lifetime to California.

Courtesy of nationwide retailer American Golf and equipment giant TaylorMade Golf, Hatherley, who plays at Windlesham Golf Club, has just returned from completing a round in the USA.

“I want to thank the guys at American Golf for a once in a lifetime opportunity and Simon from TaylorMade for over delivering an amazing experience,” said Hatherley.

EASTHAMPSTEAD Rotary hosted their 14th charity golf day at Bearwood Lakes.

The primary beneficiary of the event this year was Me2 Club, which enables children with additional needs from across Wokingham Borough to access mainstream leisure activities.

Rotarians, golfers, supporters and sponsors turned out for a breakfast, golf and walk along the course before an awards dinner and auction hosted by BBC Berkshire’s Ady Williams.

“Over the years, Easthampstead Rotary Club’s Golf Day has generated approaching £100,000,” said president Rob Hughes.
