FOR some people golf is a hard enough game as it is. All credit then to Worcester accountants Nicklin who played a tournament in the dark for charity.

Floodlights were not an option for the event at Ravenmeadow Golf Centre in Claines and to enable players to see their target, the holes were illuminated with glow sticks and glow in the dark golf balls were used.

The night raised £680 on the night for Nicklin's charitable trust which aims to help and support local charities. The winning team was prophetically called The Winners – a name they chose before the event started – and comprised Colin Foxhall, David Johnson and Paul Knight.

Nicklin’s managing partner Harvey Owen said: “It was great to see so many people turn out for this event, and I could just about see them. Night golf was a huge success and I’d like to thank everybody that took part for their help in raising so much money for the Nicklin Charitable Trust.”
