Hide AdBecca Gregory, events coordinator at Blythe House, said: "We would like to say a huge thank you to all of the local companies that sponsored golf tees, donated prizes and gave bottles for the tombola.
"Special thanks also go to Buxton and High Peak Golf Club and its members who put so much time into making the day a success, and of course the players themselves.
"The weather was atrocious but that didn’t stop the resilient bunch enjoying their day, while helping to raise a brilliant amount of money for patients with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses in the High Peak and beyond."
