On the 23rd May 25 teams lines up for the 2019 Construction Industry Charity Pro-Am sponsored by JSP and Heathrow. The weather was set fair and the day got off to a cracking start with a terrific donation of £15,358 by Mark Johnstone CEO of JSP.
The Foxhills Longcross course was looking particularly wonderful in the sun after hosting the PGA Seniors Event the previous week and after a hearty breakfast the teams set off for a shotgun start at 12:00.

Things really did hot up when we had to suspend play for 30 mins for the fire brigade to attend to a heath fire that ran a little too close for comfort at the 8th Hole. A decision was made to avoid this hole so we ran the competition over 17 holes.  There was several twist and turns through out the day as teams jostled for the lead but in the end DPC overcame all opposition to claim this years trophy.

The PGA Professionals also had a bit of a titanic battle with Nico Els, James Ford and James Ablett all tied for first place … you can see the full leader board here… Leaderboard
In the evening we had some educational entertainment from a company called AKT Productions. They used actors to demonstrate how to spot and engage people showing signs of stress and mental ill health. They were extremely engaging and hopefully all felt they had gained some insight into our industry problem.​

Huge thanks once again to Mark Johnstone from JSP and Tim Houghton from Heathrow who brought along many of the companies in their supply chain to make the event such a wonderful occasion.
A big shout out too to all the companies that sponsored the golf holes, the bar and brought raffle prizes.
Finally a massive thanks to Sam Smith and the PGA for bringing along such terrific and engaging Professional Golfers, VPAR for their scoring technology and Laura McDonald from European Golf Challenge who managed the event and will be taking over the Lighthouse Golf Club in the future.
Not only did we great networking and fun we also raised over £23,000 for our charity.. well done all!
The date is already set as 21st May 2020 for next year and it will be on the Bernard Hunt Course at Foxhills.

On the 4th September, a few days after the official end of Summer, the sun beamed down on the resplendent and beautifully prepared golfing amphitheatre of ​The Berkshire. The construction golfing gladiators mustered and talked of great golfing victories as they prepared to do battle for the prestigious Founders Cup and the Construction Trophy.


The BLUE course was chosen for the competition round and after some spectacular golf the winners were announced at the legendary Berkshire Carvery Lunch.
The Founders Cup:
This magnificent trophy is awarded to the team with the best 2 player stableford points.
​
One of the Celtic Energy were the outright winners of the trophy after increasing their chances of winning by bringing 3 teams! 
​
Jelmac previous winners of the trophy fought gallantly  to regain their title but their opposition melted away after some magnificent golf from the Welsh invasion.

The Construction Trophy:
This prize is awarded to the individual with the best stableford score. Again this had an exciting conclusion. There were some exceptional low handicap golfers in the competition and some higher handicap players that were clearly having a “good day at the office” However, in the end there was one man that vanquished all. So hearty congratulations went to James Devenald, winner of the Construction Cup 2018.

​On the course we had many competitions and few golfers managed to beat our female professional Zara Houchin at our famous “beat the pro” hole. As well as showing great skill at the tricky hole N°10, Zara managed to snap up all the team photos​.
