KIND-HEARTED golfers have clubbed together to raise almost £15,000 for an Inverclyde-based charity.

Eighteen teams took part in the annual golf day held by Quarriers, which operates more than 100 services across Scotland.

The 18 holes of golf were followed by a speech by renowned after-dinner speaker Iain T. Gordon and by a prize draw.

The winning team came from Munro Optometrists, which has branches in Kilmacolm, Mount Florida, Cumbernauld, Bridgeton, Coatbridge and Glasgow’s west end.

Louise Robertson, associate director of funding and marketing at Quarriers, said: “It was wonderful to welcome all 18 teams to our annual Golf Day at Cathkin Braes Golf Club.

“We would like to thank our headline sponsor, Andrew Molloy of Picture Book Fashion, and M & D Green, all our tee sponsors and everyone who kindly donated prizes for the event.

“I would also like to say a huge thank you to the team at the golf club who looked after everyone so well. 

“The support we received and the heartfelt generosity from the teams meant we were able to raise £14,800, and we are very grateful to everyone involved.”
