The annual event, which was held at Hesketh Golf Club, was organised by Southport based Fletchers Solicitors to raise money for the brain injury charity.

More than 60 people from local and national businesses took part in the golf day to raise funds and awareness of Headway, which provides support for people who have suffered a head or brain injury.
