One day in June is synonymous with the epic Mike Hailwood and Agostini battle in the 1967 Senior TT,not many people will be aware that 'One day in June 2011' another epic event took place at Ramsey Golf course.

Eric Corkish , his mate Roy and members of Ramsey Golf Club organised the Geoff Cannell Golf Day which this year was in support of the Joey Dunlop Foundation and Help the Heros, 'records', were smashed with £14400 being collected via sponsors , entry fees and auction items.

Yesterday afternoon , Kevin Quirk and Major Bill from Help the Hero's each collected cheques for £7200.00.

Kevin said that he was amazed that in the current economic climate , Eric had smashed last years record and acknowledged that both Eric and Roy had put in a considerable amount of work not only on the golf day but for several months prior to the event.

JDF continues to receive excellent reviews on their facilities which are fully booked until the end of September and with a healthy reservation book for 2012, potential visitors are requested to contact JDF sooner rather than later in order to avoid disappointment.
