A BUMPER field of 180 golfers turned out for the Studley Wood Captains’ Day, helping to raise £11,000 for charity.

It was the main event of the year in office for men’s captain Dave Drew, who is raising money for Oxford Children’s Hospital, and ladies captain Elizabeth Wheeldon, whose chosen charity is Water Aid.

The overall winners were a team led by 2014 men’s captain Hans Menzel, while the men’s title was claimed by Clive Read, Graham Brogden, Tom Jupp and Tony Lane.

Children from Stagecoach in Headington provided entertainment with dancing and singing, while a silent auction helped boost the proceeds.

Drew said: “It certainly went beyond our expectations.

“We have been working on it since January, so we are thrilled with the way it went.”

  • OXFORDSHIRE won the Inter-Federation Cup as North Oxford hosted the Women’s Institute Centenary National Golf Competition.

The top three were separated on countback, with Oxfordshire’s Maureen Rhymes finishing third.

Her efforts helped the county win back the team trophy from Wiltshire.
