Nearly £15,000 was raised at a golf day in aid of a social care charity. 

The event by Quarriers took place at Cathkin Braes Golf Club in Rutherglen, bringing together 18 teams for a competitive round of golf.

The sold-out event was aimed at raising funds for Quarriers, a charity with more than 100 services across Scotland.

After a great round, the teams were treated to lunch by the hospitality team at Cathkin Braes and everyone had the opportunity to enjoy a convivial speech from renowned after-dinner speaker, Iain T Gordon.

A prize draw followed that added to the total raised (£14,800).

Andrew Molloy of Picture Book Fashion, the headline sponsor, said: “Once again the Quarriers Golf Day knocks it out the park. We even managed to get the weather right. 

“From start to finish it was a great day and raised a record amount for Quarriers which was our target."

"The support we received and the heartfelt generosity from the teams meant we were able to raise £14,800, we are very grateful to everyone involved."

The winning team, Munro Optometrists, was delighted with their victory.

 Stevie McLaren, a team member, said: "It was a great day, and we were delighted to represent Munro Optometrists.

"It was a full house, and the standard of play was very good but maybe our local knowledge helped us edge it on the day.

"We are proud to take part in the Quarriers Golf Day and look forward to returning next year."
