In July, the prestigious London Golf Club in Kent played host to the annual Solus 'Summer Trilby' golf day, an event that united 92 players from across the construction industry for a memorable day of golf and professional bonds. Sponsored by FILA Solutions and supported by a range of other esteemed suppliers, the day was a resounding success, demonstrating once again the power of networking and fun in a beautiful setting.

The event kicked off with a hearty breakfast that fueled participants for the day ahead. Attendees, including architects, interior designers, developers, contractors, and tile subcontractors from across the UK, received tote bags filled with commemorative straw trilby hats, socks, water bottles, and towels—perfectly capturing the spirit of the day.

Despite a week of rainy weather, the sun shone brightly on the golf course, ensuring ideal conditions for the day’s play. The event featured a series of competitions and challenges that kept players engaged and entertained throughout.

 

 

The highlight of the tournament was the main event, in which Hawkins Brown Architects emerged victorious. In the team event, Buzon UK Ltd took home the top prize, showcasing their collective skill and strategy on the course.

Individual accolades were also awarded, with Gill Ellis from Architile Ltd securing the Longest Drive title and Dan Spinks from Surface Tiling Ltd winning the Nearest the Pin competition. In a lighthearted twist, a participant from Loughton, who had been having a tough day, was awarded a shiny disco hat as a humorous nod to his perseverance.

Adding an extra layer of excitement, a competition was held to challenge a professional golfer on the 12th hole, offering players a unique opportunity to test their skills against a pro. The day concluded with a relaxed and lively team barbecue, where players enjoyed a variety of delicious foods and beverages. This informal setting was perfect for mingling and networking, allowing participants to swap stories, celebrate successes, and build new connections. Amidst the laughter and camaraderie, attendees forged valuable relationships that are likely to extend beyond the golf course, reflecting the day’s core value of shared purpose and mutual support.
