South Shields Golf Club Captain Tony Mordew has not only chosen to support SURT this year, but the club is committed to making SURT a chosen cause for next year’s event too.
The Captain’s Day at the golf club takes place each year after a weekend of golfing and activities to raise money for a chosen local cause.
On Friday, 15 July, the weekend will start with the Ladies Captains Competition, followed by the Texas Scramble (a team game in golf), the main golfing event will take place the following day with players taking to the course for a game of golf and on Sunday, 17 July there will be a family fun day open for all, with activities for children running between 5pm-7pm.

Hide AdTony said: “The event gets a massive turnout every year and I’d like to send out thanks to everyone that’s donated prizes or shown their support towards the event.”
Leane and Claire are thrilled to be getting the support from the club and its members.
Leanne said: “It’s brilliant to be supported by the golf club for this event and hopefully we will make links with other businesses and community members who want to back what we’re doing.”
Claire added: “We’ll also have some of our young people who are SURT Steering Supporters there on the day, to help with the days events as well talking about how young people and their families are supported. Any money we receive from the charity event will be a huge help towards supporting those that access our service.”
