Mar Hall Hotel, Golf & Spa Resort raised £6,303 for Greenock-based Ardgowan Hospice during a charity event held at its Earl of Mar Scottish championship golf course.
A total of 68 golf enthusiasts had the opportunity to play alongside notable figures such as Scottish football legends Frank McAvennie, Gordon Dalziel, Jim Melrose, and Spanish professional golfer Rafa Cabrera-Bello.
The funds will benefit Ardgowan Hospice, which offers care and support to individuals in Inverclyde facing terminal illnesses like cancer, heart failure, lung disease, kidney failure, or neurological conditions. This includes medical, practical, and emotional assistance.

He emphasized the special connection Mar Hall has with Ardgowan Hospice and thanked everyone who contributed to the event.

She highlighted the vital role of the contributions in meeting the hospice’s daily operational costs, which amount to approximately £11,000.
