IN the autumn Taunton & Pickeridge Golf Club once again hosted the annual Musgrove Cup from which all of the profits are donated to Musgrove Hospital.

Thanks to the generosity of the players, sponsors and supporters the event raised an impressive sum of £4395.90.   

Just prior to Christmas Peter Renshaw from the League of Friends visited T&P to receive a cheque from club Captain Kevin Jackson and main sponsor representative Jeff Land.

The monies raised will go in support of the Robotic Surgery Appeal to purchase a specialist operating table.

The League of Friends and Taunton & Pickeridge are extremely grateful for all sponsors – in particular Purple Surgical Manufacturing, Hawksmoor Investments, and Pearsalls - for their generous donations. 

With the new year just around the corner T&P has just announced the dates for their Open Competitions during 2024.
