Hansel Golfers raise £6624 towards a new bathroom
27 May, 2025
Thirteen teams of golfers took to the greens of Kilmarnock (Barassie) Golf Club to take part in the 27th Hansel Charity Golf Day on Thursday 1st May 2025 raising a fantastic £6224.35 towards refurbishing a bathroom in our residential service, the Courtyard at Hansel.

The course was in first class condition and everyone had a fantastic round of golf on the Texas Scramble format. A fundraising auction and prize draw took place after dinner with the event expertly hosted once again by Robert Dykes.
Winning the Friends of Hansel Quaich in first place, for the second year in a row, were the team from Lowmac followed by Clansman Interiors in second place and Launch Digital in third. Clansman Interiors also won the team prize for keeping the yellow ball in play and having the best score out of the five teams who returned the ball at the 19th hole!
Individual prizes went to: Longest Drive - Gordon Whitelaw, Clansman Interiors; Nearest the Pin (4th) - Gordon Whitelaw, Clansman Interiors and Nearest the Pin (12th) - Finlay Munro, Struer. The prizes were presented by Dawn Allan, Assistant Manager of The Courtyard.
We are extremely grateful to everyone who supported the event including our sponsors, hole sponsors, people who donated prizes and of course all the golfers who helped us to raise £6224.35 which has taken us a huge step forward to being able to refurbish a bathroom in House 5 at our residential service, the Courtyard. Our thanks go to Robert Dykes for hosting the event with his usual flair and to the team at Kilmarnock (Barassie) Golf Club for their assistance and expertise.
The team at The Courtyard support people with a range of support needs and disabilities in a safe, friendly and homely environment. Flexible and individual care is delivered 24 hours a day for each and every resident. The bathroom in House 5 is in need of an upgrade and one resident is quite clear in his statement “I want a new bathroom.” Will you help? We need to raise a total of £25,000 to completely renovate the bathroom and we are grateful to everyone who supported the charity golf day and helped to raise such a fantastic amount.
