72 holes of golf in one day

72 holes of golf in one day

At Phoenix Contact, we actively promote employees to support their local community. To ensure we reach as many areas as possible we offer an “ESG Day” where staff can take a days leave to give something back.

Three employees used their ESG day to raise money for PAPYRUS UK, the UK charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide and the promotion of positive mental health and emotional wellbeing in young people. Their challenge was to complete 72 holes of golf in one day.

"We started our challenge teeing off at 5am Friday morning, a pleasant 19 degrees at that point and finally completed our 72 holes around 8:30pm.   Challenge took place at the Wrekin GC, while a shorter course than some it's very hilly and a typical round includes an ascent of 157m, so a decent strain on the legs on what was the hottest day of the year so far.  We carried our clubs for the challenge on what ended up being around 24 miles over the 72 holes / 4 rounds."

Well done to the team!
