LifeSpring's Dan holds on to golfing title Picture: James Hollands

 

IT WAS tee off time for LifeSpring church recently as it held its annual golf contest.

 

A baker’s dozen from the Reading-based church gathered at Hurst Golf Club on Sunday, June 24 to find out which of them would be first to make it to the 19th hole.
The fun contest started at 2pm and saw lots of fun on the green and Dan Hollands scooped the championship – for the second time in a row. He is pictured receiving his prize from the church’s pastor – and his Dad – Neville Hollands.
Plans are already in place for next year’s contest.
