Agroup of amateur Yorkshire golfers are hoping to raise more than £20,000 for Prostate Cancer UK this summer by holding a special charity golf day in memory of a friend who died from the disease.

Created from a local golf society, the ‘Pints for Pinder’ group based in South Milford are raising money for the men’s charity after one of their founding members Lloyd Pinder was diagnosed with the disease in 2016 and sadly passed away in 2020.

One in eight men are likely to be affected by prostate cancer in the UK during their lifetime but can be cured when it is caught early.

Lloyd’s passing drew tributes from many people including Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling who remarked on Lloyd’s passion for sport and devotion to his wife and two daughters after meeting him on a March for Men event.

Pints for Pinder is a charity golf day now in its third year and is returning to Darrington Golf Club on Friday May 12. Individuals or companies can sign-up to take part, sponsor a hole or simply buy raffle tickets from £10 for a chance of winning one of the many prizes available.

Raffle prizes include the top prize of a three-night stay at The Duke of Gordon Hotel in the Scottish Highlands, to golf lessons, equipment, LNER train tickets and gift vouchers for a selection of popular bars and restaurants.

Andy Hutchinson, one of the organisers, said: “Lloyd’s tragic death was such a shock to all who knew him and demonstrated the need to do more to support charities like Prostate Cancer UK.

“Our ‘Pints for Pinder’ events in the last two years have raised more than £24,000 so we’re hoping to add to this with this year’s event.”

All the details on how to take part or help can be found at www.pintsforpinder.com.

Event organisers wish to thank Club Insure, Lloyd’s former employer, for once again being the main sponsor and the incredible generosity from the local community in lending their support.
