A Perfect Day of Golf and Networking at Sharp Consultancy's Annual Event Sickleholme!

Another delightful day out at Sickleholme Golf Club for Sharp Consultancy’s latest Invitational Golf event!After a little scepticism late Thursday night concerning the weather, the early sunshine on Friday was a sign of things to come, an absolute belter of a day ensued with glorious weather throughout and some fairly ‘bright’ golf too! Guests started the day with breakfast and refreshments, before sampling the spectacular views of Sickleholme's 13th whilst trying to secure one of the three prizes on offer! Those being, Nearest the pin, Longest drive and of course OVERALL WINNER. Jonathan Ward deservedly scooped the Nearest the pin award with a tee shot within 7ft of the 13th hole and Ian Robinson justified the low handicap with a beautiful drive on the 17th hole to secure the Longest Drive award – well done to you both! The OVERALL WINNER was a much more competitive affair, and it was left right until the final group had finished to declare an overall winner, with a final score of 35 points James Rutter claimed the glory and won the main prize – congratulations James! As always, a massive thank you to all of the team at Sickleholme who allowed us to host and facilitate yet another great day which we rounded off with some much-needed beers and of course the famous Sickleholme Chicken burger!!
