Six golfing friends and members of Gorleston Golf Club, led by Gorleston Ladies Captain Jules Harbord, are fundraising for the James Paget by playing 72 holes of golf in one day to raise money for paediatric diabetes.
Jules’s nephew Jake spent some time in the paediatric department at the James Paget University Hospital so it is for very personal reasons that she has chosen to support the hospital in her Captaincy year of 2023/24 under the heading of ‘Jaycees Sugarbetes’. Jules is planning events throughout the year and she is hoping to raise £5,000 to show her gratitude for the wonderful work carried out by all the staff involved.
The 72 holes of golf will start at 4.30am on Monday 19 June 2023 at Gorleston Golf Club with an expected time of completion for the four rounds at approximately 8.30pm.
Playing alongside Jules are Tonia Connor, Ladies Vice Captain; Marieta Holmes; Kinza Ellis; Amanda Hood and Marie Norman. Assisting all, in a buggy, with refreshments will be Maggie Hart.
The ladies will be playing four Stableford games in two teams of three and it is hoped that a total of £600 will be raised at this event.
