Annual Golf & Networking Day is a Huge Hit!
This year's event attracted more than 30 concierge and business affiliates, raising a record-breaking amount for charity.
Once again held at Foxhills Club & Resort in Ottershaw, Surrey, the event, including a raffle and auction, raised more than £3,000 for Hospitality Action - making it the best Golf Day to date!
Organiser Darren Winter, CEO at Air Courier International Ltd, said: "On an absolutely stunning late September day, we played the 2026 annual Golden Keys Golf Day returning to the beautiful Foxhills Golf and Country Club in Surrey.
"The course was presented in tip top condition, and our players were treated to perfect greens and fairways, despite the very difficult spell of very hot weather this year. Our fun 'shambles' format proved popular once more, and with 32 players out there, there was much to play for.
"Due to the generosity of all the sponsors, and the affiliates that donated prizes, I'm delighted to confirm that we raised more than £3000 for Hospitality Action, marking a new high for the day.
Darren added: "We hope to make it even bigger and better next year, re-introducing the Learn to Love Golf and bringing even more teams and players. I'm delighted that this is such a highlight of the calendar and can't wait for 2027's event!
