A GOLFER stole the show after a Dorset care home turned its garden into a miniature course specially for Father’s Day.

Residents at Colten Care’s Brook View in West Moors were invited to celebrate by working their way round the nine holes, with a glass of bubbly or beer at the end.

The course, brought along and assembled by James Englefield of mobile crazy golf provider Golf Craziness, proved a compelling draw for men and women.

As players went around there were cheers whenever the ‘hole in one’ bell rang out.

Once scores were tallied up, the champion was declared to be Pamela Roberts, above, a one-time avid golfer.

After James presented her with a winner’s hamper, a ‘Brook View’s Top Golfer’ trophy and a first-place rosette, Pamela said: “‘It was a great day that brought back many happy memories and I enjoyed the bubbles at the 10th hole.”

Fellow resident Derrick Fuller was runner-up and said afterwards: “I really enjoyed my Father’s Day and I am shocked that I came second as I’ve never played golf before.”

Third place went to Joan Campbell, above right . Companionship team member Jo Vardy said: “We congratulate everyone who played and especially the amazing Pamela for proving that women can beat men at golf, even on Father’s Day.

“A great day was had by all and after visiting the 10th hole for some bubbly or Colten Care’s very own beer everybody was ready for a well-deserved rest. Our thanks go to James for bringing his mobile set-up over for us.”
