Jointly organised with his son-in-law Lee Duncan the 18-hole Stableford competition will be followed by a three course evening meal, a presentation of prizes, charity raffle and auction.

Ken has been raising funds for the hospice since it opened in 1993 and has raised more than £70,000 over the years the event has been running.

He said: “Our annual golf day is always a great success but this year is particularly special to us as we are celebrating its 20th anniversary.

“Derian House is a fantastic charity and we have been providing support ever since it opened. We’re very grateful to everyone who takes part in the event and look forward to welcoming some new teams.”
