Robert Green hosted the ‘GK Open’ in support of AMREF at the London Golf Club on Wednesday 7th May.
The event raised over £11,000 to support AMREF’s life saving work in Africa.. We would like to thank Robert and everyone involved for all their hard work and for organising such a fantastic event.
14 teams of 3 keen golfers were each joined by a premership fo
otballer, including Paul Robinson, Dean Kiely, Craig Gordon, Ray Wilkins, Alan Lee and Jimmy Walker. The teams enjoyed some of the best weather of the year and were pleased to be involved in an event raising money and awareness of AMREF’s work, bringing health care to some of the most vulnerable communities in Africa. A team from Carbon Property Finance, who were joined by the West Ham goal keeper Jimmy Walker, was the victorious team at the end of the day. Dean Kiely, the West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper won best individual score – so excited was he by this success that he dropped the trophy!
Following a successful day on the course the teams relaxed for dinner. Robert Green spoke at the event to thank everyone involved, highlight his involvement with AMREF and share his excitement about his upcoming trip to Kenya and Tanzania, including climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
