A golf course celebrated its 50th anniversary with a charity tournament.

The event at High Beech Golf Club in Wellington Hill saw four teams battle it out over nine holes, with the Dave Etherington team winning with 57 points.

Proceeds from the day were donated to St Clare Hospice, Dementia UK, Highams Park Youth Club, Cancer Research UK, the friends of St Margaret’s Hospital in Epping and the town’s Rotary club.

Course manager Clark Baker said: “Competitors ranged from eight to 80 years of age and from the complete novice to the very accomplished player.”
