GOLF clubs have raised an un-fore-gettable amount for a good cause.

Ladies and men’s captains of Lyme Regis Golf Club presented a cheque for £5,000 to Axminster and Lyme Cancer Support.

The money was raised as part of the club's fundraising for the year.

Steve Hames, the club captain and Mary Minter, ladies captain, presented the cheque to Mary Kahn. Both captains have chosen Axminster and Lyme Cancer Support as their nominated charity for this year.

Mary said: “We have a wonderful course here at Lyme and are pleased that the money raised has come from visitors to the club as well as our members."

Steve added: “Both captains have chosen to support our local charity and appreciate the work and services they provide to those affected by cancer in the area.”

“We have more events planned through the rest of our time as captains of the Golf Club," he added.

Mary Kahn, founder of Axminster and Lyme Cancer Support, said: “We are so grateful to Lyme Regis Golf Club, its members, guests and all that have contributed to the fund raising.

“We support anyone affected by any cancer in our area and this will help us to continue to provide needed help and care to many in our community."
