Charity day raises £35,000 for Paul

Lawrie Foundation

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Patrons of the Paul Lawrie Foundation and members of the golfing media have helped raise in the region of £35,000 for the Foundation.
The superb total was garnered during a charity golf day at Deeside Golf Club near Aberdeen where the patrons beat the media 4-2 in a four-ball contest, before the Foundation staged its Annual Dinner later in the evening at The Marcliffe Hotel, Pitfodels to the west of Aberdeen..
Richard Gordon, the BBC Scotland television and radio presenter, compered the function in front of some 300 guests while Willie Allen provided the entertainment and conducted the auction. Lawrie, the 1999 Open Champion, also spoke at the dinner and took the chance to poke some good natured fun at some of the assembled golf writers.
The success and progress of the Foundation was evident this summer when teenager David Law, a product of the Paul Lawrie Junior Programme, won the Scottish boys' match-play championship as well as the Scottish men’s amateur championship. The 18 year old is the first golfer to win both championships in the same year.
