The annual Legends Fund Golf Day took place at the picturesque Belmont Golf Club on Friday 11 June 2021. The clear skies and warm winter sunshine set the scene for a great day of golf that was enjoyed by about 80 golfers.
On a quiet winter’s night and in the darkness, a lone bell rang out. Getting louder and louder with each ring, the bell signalled that all was not well.
