SETA recently invited apprenticeship employers to its annual Golf Day on the 1st May – an excellent chance to socialise and network with employers and thank them for their support.
Dean Shannon, Business Development Manager hosted the event which was once again well attended by 13 companies along with 25 players, in a hard fought battle of SETA champions.
“The weather stayed fine but was a little windy and cold, but with all players being of hardy, happy go lucky fellows it was a cracking day out. The scoring once again was of high standards and not so high standards, but overall the enjoyment of being out on a nice golf course was the main outcome of the day.”
“There were 5 major prizes to play for and everyone contributed in there own way in attempting to go home with one of them, some better than others, but overall we were all winners on the day just for attending.”
“We would like to thank all the companies involved for there continual progression in the training areas and for all the golfers on the day for making it yet another very successful day out.”

Longest Drive: Winner – Giles Wyatt
Nearest the Pin: Stuart Brookes (Brooktech)
