GOLFING FOR GLORY
Two golfing greats from Dumfries & Galloway will join NHS colleagues from across the UK to compete in the three- day NHS Four Nations Tournament at Archerfield Links in North Berwick August.
Nursing Auxiliary Andrew Byers and Driver Martin Kingstree – both members of the Crichton Golf Club – secured their places at this prestigious play-off when they took part in the annual NHS Scotland charity day. That event was held at The Dukes course in St Andrew’s in May and it raised £3,500 for four charities which support sick children in Scotland.
Andrew said: “There are charity competitions in Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales and the top 12 players from each of these events are invited to take part in the NHS Four Nations Tournament.
“We’d both like to thank everyone who has helped us, especially Julie White, Katy Lewis and Alison Warwick. Their practical, financial and moral support has been particularly welcome.”
Martin said: “Taking part in this event is a real honour and I’m delighted that Andrew and I have the opportunity to represent not just our board but also our country.”
