30th Anniversary of the Peter Alliss Invitational at Ferndown Golf Club raises over £30,000 for Charity

On Monday 5^th September Ferndown Golf Club hosted the Alliss Invitational Charity Golf Day sponsored by JM Scully Ltd. The event raised over £30,000 for The Peter Alliss Wheelchair Crusade and Ferndown Captain’s chosen charities.

Twenty-three teams teed off with a shot gun start at midday playing 18 holes on Ferndown’s Championship Course. Winners of the golf day were The Jeannies - John Astley, Reine Baker, Andrew Lear and James Wilson with 87 pts. 

The auction on the night was run by Mike Osman with donations including a luxury villa in Thailand and a tour of the BBC South Today studios thanks to Anthony Husband.

Peter Alliss said at the event, “The concept was thought up 30 years ago by Derek Silk, John Iles and myself. On a small scale we aimed to raise as much money as we could for disabled young people. Now thirty years on we have raised over £1 million and donated hundreds of wheelchairs to change the lives of so many children and young people.”

Ian Walton, General Manager of Ferndown Golf Club said “the new AmAm competition format was introduced last year with Peter Alliss’s continuing support which has contributed to the success of the day and most importantly valuable money being raised for the life changing work his charity does on a daily basis.” 

A huge thank you to all who participated in the day as well as sponsors and auction donators.
