Twenty-three teams took part in the event, including a mix of corporate, social and members’ teams.
All profits from the event will be put towards the hospice’s core clinical costs.
The golf day is a regular fixture on the Business Group calendar along with the annual ball which over eight years has raised more than £437,000.
Money raised by members of the Business Group is added to the hospice coffers to help provide respite, palliative and end-of-life care for babies and children aged 0 to 5.
Peter Jarvis, who is National Patron of Zoë’s Place, which also operates hospices in Liverpool and Middlesbrough, and Chair of the Coventry Business Group, said plans for next year’s golf day were already underway.
He said: “Once again this event has achieved a fantastic result for Zoë’s Place Baby Hospice and the families who benefit from the hospice’s vital services. The golf club helped boost the fundraising total even further by waiving the green fees for the event on the day.
“This event was initially only ever meant to take place over three years but there was such high demand for it again last year and once again it was a resounding success. Coventry Golf Club is a fantastic supporter of the hospice with long-standing representation on the Business Group and has already announced its support for next year. It’s a great event which gets better and better every year.”
Auction prizes at the event included a four ball at the Forest of Arden, a dine and stay package at the Belfry Hotel and Spa, and a PGA four ball course voucher.
The auction alone raised £2,550.
The event sponsor was Taylor Wimpey which also provided two golf teams and a team of volunteers who helped run the day.
Plans are already underway for next year’s Golf Day and teams looking to take part are urged to sign up early to the event which is scheduled to take place on Thursday, June 27th.
Members of the business group are also gearing up for their gala ball, which is taking place at Coombe Abbey on November 17th this year.
One of the most exclusive events on the Coventry and Warwickshire calendar, this will be the seventh annual ball organised by the business group.
A night promised with glitz, glamour and entertainment there will be a three-course meal, live music and dancing, an auction and raffle.
Sponsorship packages and table packages are available.
