Here at Second City we would like to offer our congratulations to the winners of this year’s tournament, The Three Spires from Spire Little Aston Hospital who finished on a final score of 84. Despite battling some torrential rain in the morning, the teams all did fantastically well and it was a closely fought tournament, with Parking Bods coming a close second.

An astonishing 35 teams took part in the 43rd Second City Charity Golf Tournament, raising a staggering £11,500 for chosen charities Arthritis Research Campaign and Focus Birmingham despite the recession.
The winners of the Rod Davies Memorial Bowl were Team FIGS with Finlay Clark from Blackwell as their Pro and the professional prize went to Jeremy Robinson from Twyford who shot a gross 66 for the day.
Says Peter Skerritt, Tournament Director “I would like to thank everyone who supported the tournament and I hope that you will continue to offer your support this year in what should be the best Second City tournament yet.”
The tournament returns to Little Aston Golf Club on Wednesday 14th July. Little Aston is also host to this years’ English Amateur Championship some twelve days after the Second City tournament, so the course will be in fantastic condition. Teams are being snatched up faster than we have ever seen before and we are delighted to announce that we have a main sponsor for 2010 - Spire Little Aston Hospital.
Charities like Arthritis Research Campaign, seen here receiving their cheque alongside Focus Birmingham, have been benefiting from the generosity of the teams and sponsors for over 20 years. Sarah Cooke from ARC, who with her team of helpers, actively sell raffle tickets before and during the event added:
“We would like to thank everyone involved with the Second City Charity Golf Classic for the very generous donation raised at the tournament - we have been benefactors for many years and we are delighted to learn that Second City will be supporting us again this year.”
In addition to ARC, the second nominated charity is The Norman Laud Association who provide day and respite care for children and young adults with special needs.

A Sutton Coldfield based association for disabled children and their families has been boosted by the generosity of local professional and amateur golfers from the business community who clubbed together and donated over £5200 out of the final proceeds of the 2008 Second City Charity Golf Classic Pro-Am Tournament held at Moor Hall golf club.
The Norman Laud Association in Sutton Coldfield provides day and domiciliary respite care for children and adults with special needs. The association began 46 years ago when local councillor, Norman Laud set up a nursery for disabled children.
Honorary Tournament Director of the Second City Charity Golf Classic, Peter Skerritt said,
“Ours is the Midlands’ premier annual charity golf tournament with our 43rdd annual tournament due to tee off this July. Last year we raised money for both Norman Laud and Arthritis Care because their work is both incredible and vital. We are always privileged to lend a helping hand to this sort of charity and thanks to our sponsors and the business community who always enjoy a fantastic day’s golf, we are able to contribute to organisations such as Norman Laud.”
Sian Pemberton from Norman Laud said,
“Second City Golf Tournaments Limited have given us support over a number of years now. Their commitment to and passion for our work is very much appreciated by the children and their families and they have helped us to expand our services because of their donations. Many of our guests are profoundly disabled so the need to offer carers this support is essential especially as the association has to rely on fundraising to maintain its services.”
This year’s Second City Charity Golf Classic is being held at Moor Hall Golf Club on Wednesday 15th July, 2009.
