WOMEN golfers have raised more than £1,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support from a charity tournament.
About 150 women from across the region gathered at Mount Oswald Golf Club, Durham, for the Macmillan Ladies Open.
The pairs tournament, which is in its 12th year, raised £1,670.
Organiser Margaret Dineley said: "The ladies come from as far south as Ripon and as far north as Rothbury.
"We've raised about £20,000 in total over the years, and most ladies say how much they like the competition. It's always fully subscribed."
Joan Hedley and Margaret Johnston, who are both from Seaham Golf Club, won first prize, taking home the McKeag Trophy.
Mrs Dineley said: "We could not do this without the male golf club members, and the non-members who turn up and do jobs. I'd like to thank them for their support, and thank the house and garden staff."
