90 holes of Golf in a day!
On Wednesday 25th May 5.15am, Sue Marshall (Lady Captain, Catterick Golf Club) and Caroline Whitehead (Lady Vice Captain, Catterick Golf Club) begin their epic 90@90 Challenge - 5 Rounds and 15 hours of Golf! to raise money in aid of Sue’s nominated charity Blesma.
We love a challenge! To any non- golfers 90 holes might not sound too demanding - but we estimate based on the course we will be walking roughly 26 miles over a 15 hour period, whilst still trying to play golf! We could not be more proud to be playing to raise money for Blesma. Thank you for your donations.

Blesma, The Limbless Veterans, is dedicated to assisting serving and ex-Service men and women who have suffered life-changing limb loss or the loss of use of a limb, an eye or loss of sight. We support these men and women in their communities throughout the UK and overseas. We work tirelessly for our Members when the conflicts that have affected their lives are no longer a focal point in the nation’s media. Since 1932, we have been the only national Service charity that supports limbless veterans for the duration of their lives. Our Members range from the youngest amputee veterans to those who fought in WWII, some having lived with limb loss for more than half a century. Modern medicine transforms the physical injury, but it is a complicated process to treat the emotional trauma and related lifelong health problems.Blesma provides a network where Members not only enjoy support from our professional Welfare Team, but where they have the opportunity to engage with others who have similar injuries and backgrounds to themselves, building an important fellowship with each other to overcome everyday battles.
