These include 2017 defending champion, Barry Lane, who will by vying for this year’s £370,000 prize fund for the 54-hole competition.
The three day championship welcomes golf fans hoping to spot the stars and watch the action, and families alike with the Kids Zone running on the final two days.
The previous Willow Senior Golf Classic events have raised a phenomenal £300,000 for the national charity providing much-needed funds to support seriously ill young adults during a difficult time.
Willow Life President, Bob Wilson said, “The third annual event sees the continued partnership with Hanbury Manor which, like our own Special Days, offers quality time, bringing smiles to people’s faces. A unique opportunity for the whole family – with child friendly activities alongside the top level golf set in the impressive grounds of Hanbury Manor. Funds raised are a life line for Willow, enabling us to support many more young adults at a time when they most need it.”
