Cancer charity Pals has benefited to the tune of $5,000 thanks to a donation from the Bermuda Senior Golfers’ Society.

The money was raised by members of the group at their annual charity tournament by way of entry fees, as well as additional donations from both those who played and those who simply wished to donate to such a worthy cause.

Malcolm Durrant, President of the Bermuda Senior Golfers’ Society, presented the cheque to Colleen English DeGrilla, executive director of Pals, to the value of $5,000.

The Bermuda Senior Golfers’ Society was founded in 1952 and has 90 members, although not all are active. Weekly events in various formats are played year-round on courses throughout the island at discounted rates.

The Tournament Season runs from late September until early May, whilst a more informal summer programme operates in the other months.

Members must have reached the age of 55 and be residents of Bermuda or annual visitors.

Further information about the Society and application material for those interested may be obtained by contacting the Secretary, Jim Ferguson, at bermudaseniors@gmail.com.
