Industry gets together for the first time since lockdown at the NAJ and Retail Jeweller Golf day

26 Aug 2020

Hosted by the NAJ’s Partnership Manager, Garry Lane at his home golf club in Rugby, the 16 attendees included Jewellery retailers, suppliers, agents and wholesalers, many travelling significant distances to meet up for the first time since lockdown, following the necessary COVID-19 Secure Guidelines.

Despite wet weather to start the NAJ and Retail Jeweller Golf Day, followed by torrential rain for a short period, the weather thankfully cleared up allowing the four fourballs to play the back nine baked in sunshine.

Prizes were donated by TH March, Rotary Watches and the NAJ, as well as NAJ President David Doyle who put up a magnum of Champagne for the days overall winner David Stanley, Citizen Watches with an overall stableford score of 40 Points.

David was closely followed by host Garry Lane from the NAJ who finished on 38 Points. Jonathan Hughes Lewis from Jonathan David Jewellers who had travelled from South Wales came third with a score of 37 points.

David Stanley of Citizen Watches said,

“We’ve had a fantastic day here, and the weather turned out to be nothing more than a talking point. Thank you to Garry, the NAJ and Retail Jeweller for organising, we’re already looking forward to the next one.”

Golfers of all levels took part in the event, from novice and intermediate, to the more advanced appearing on the leader board.

Winners of the nearest the pin competition were Barry Mislin, Amore, and Lee Wallace of TH March.

Host Garry Lane said,

“I’d really like to thank Rugby Golf Club for taking all the necessary steps enabling the event to happen, and also the golfers themselves for their commitment, with some travelling as far away as Halifax, Bath and Salisbury. We’re really looking forward to hosting the next one.”
