Published November 2021
Combined Independents (Holdings) Ltd (CIH), part of Euronics, Europe’s largest electrical buying organisation, hosted its annual charity golf day with former World Golf Trick Shot Champion, Geoff Swain, at Carden Park Resort in Cheshire. Over 60 suppliers and members took part in the event, raising a total of £1,120 for a variety of local charities.
With a misty start to the game, Geoff Swain set the day in motion with a breath-taking demonstration of trick shot skills. Suitably inspired, CIH suppliers and members followed in his footsteps for the chance to win some great prizes.
Garry Winstanley (Haier UK), Jeremy Thompson (Mostly Media), Ryan Rose (Discount Appliance Centre) and Collin Venter (Euronics) all hit excellent tee shots on to the green and shared the charity pot donations (£1120 in total) for a local charity of their choice. These included Papyrus UK Suicide Prevention, Mary Elizabeth Siebel Trust, Treacher Collins and St Michael’s Hospice in Basingstoke.
The winning team with 96 points included Markus Wood (Avensys), Tom Cross (Sparkworld), Daniel Perham (Sony) and Collin Venter (Euronics). Runners up were Paul Skinner (Refrigeration Norwest), Michael Boylan (Boylans TV), Simon Williams (Modern Aids) and Gavin Ferguson (Fisher & Paykel) with 91 points with third place going to the team of Nigel Clarke (Haier UK), Garry Winstanley (Haier UK), Peter Jones (E Jones & Sons) and Martyn Acland (Acland's Radio & TV) with 88 points.
Markus Wood from Avensys also won the Individual Stableford (Members) competition with an incredible 49 points. Runners-up spot went to Mark Russell from Stellisons with 40 points and Steve Brightmore (Brightmores of Burbage) was third with 39 points.
Tim Cutton from Hisense claimed the Longest Drive of the day and Stuart Smith from Mostly Media claimed the Nearest to the Pin.
