Celtic FC Foundation’s annual Golf Day returned last Friday, as Renfrew Golf Club played host to the event for a tenth time. A magnificent net total in the region of £15,000 was raised, with the main beneficiary being our Paradise Pit Stop project. The event was sponsored once again by GMG Contractors Ltd – an award-winning, multi-disciplinary provider in the construction industry – and we were delighted to welcome a GMG team who took part on the day, playing alongside Celtic legend and Club Ambassador, Tom Boyd. And Tom was not the only former Celt in attendance, with Stephen McManus, Simon Donnelly and Cillian Sheridan taking on 24 other teams, while another Golf Day regular -Lisbon Lion John Fallon – also joined us later in the day in the clubhouse. The day kicked off with breakfast rolls before the obligatory group photo at the 10th hole, followed by tee-off at 10am. Following the golf, attendees then enjoyed a spot of lunch before a fantastic Q&A with the former Celts, led by our host Gerry McCulloch, as each shared stories from their time with the Club. The scores were then tallied and this year’s winners were announced. Congratulations once again to the team ‘Where’s Brian?’ – Bernie Devlin, David Miller, Jim McKechnie and Ross Fletcher – who were crowned winners of our tenth Golf Day. Along with the trophy, they’ll also enjoy a fourball at Turnberry’s Robert the Bruce course in South Ayrshire, kindly donated by Foundation supporter Pat Dunese. Proceedings were then wrapped up with a wonderful auction and prize draw.
