Royal Golf Club 2016 Ladies Club Captain Karin Lutz presented a cheque for BD8,650 to the Palm Association, a Bahrain charity run by women and providing assistance such as food parcels, educational sponsorship and home improvements for Bahraini women and children.
The money was raised through a variety of fundraising events at the club throughout the past year including the annual Captains’ Drive-In Tournament and several ladies golf events.
Members and guests hitting their ball into specific bunkers on both the Montgomerie championship course and the 9 hole Wee Monty par 3 course were also asked to donate a BD1 ‘fine’ to the charity.
RGC GM Stephen Havrilla said: “We were pleased to be associated with a charity that is giving back to Bahrain and helping needy families and we will continue to support this charity in the future.”
