Is your swing on form? How’s your handicap? Maybe it’s time to find out as chartered accountants Duncan & Toplis are holding their 26^th annual charity golf day on 1^st July.

Nearly 60 teams representing businesses and organisations across the East Midlands will tee off at the firm’s yearly event and you could too!

The event will take place at the Belton Woods Hotel near Grantham on Friday 1st July and organisers are keen to welcome more teams as they aim to make this year’s the biggest and best yet.

Duncan & Toplis, the leading East Midlands firm of chartered accountants and business advisers, has raised more than £70,000 for charitable causes from its golf days over the last quarter-century.

Two charities will benefit from this year’s event, including Belvoir Castle Cricket & Countryside Trust which delivers Kwik Cricket coaching and countryside education to special needs children.

The other charity receiving funds from the day of golf is the Lincolnshire Rural Support Network which provides pastoral and practical support to members of farming and rural communities during periods of anxiety and stress as well as when they experience problems relating to their families and business.

“With such good causes benefiting from the fundraising this year, we would really like to get as many teams as possible to play and we are hoping to raise a record amount,” said Lisa Pask, a member of the organising committee.

The format of the event remains unchanged: teams of three will play a Stableford tournament open to ladies, gents or mixed teams, all competing for the same team prizes. Entry costs £180 per team.

There will be team prizes on each course as well as the Duncan & Toplis Shield which is held for one year by the overall winners. There will also be prizes for nearest to the pin on the par threes, separate longest drives for gents and ladies, and a twos competition.

If you would like to enter a team please download an entry form via the website and email it to golf@duntop.co.uk.

Entries close on Monday 20th June.

If you are unable to enter a team but would like to sponsor a hole, send your name and contact details with a cheque for £50 made payable to Duncan & Toplis Golf Society Charity Account to 3 Castlegate, Grantham NG31 6SF. Sponsors will be able to provide their company logo to be displayed on a board at the tee box. All donations will go directly to the two charities.
