Charity Golf Day

Calling all golfers…!   Our spring conference, INSPIRE [http://www.itm.org.uk/inspire], is taking place at Celtic Manor Resort. With three championship golf courses and a legacy as the home of the 2010 Ryder Cup, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to enjoy a round of golf while supporting our ITM Cares charity!   The day after INSPIRE concludes, join us for a very special golfing event at the world-famous Montgomerie Course on Thursday, 1 May, in partnership with Enterprise Mobility. This dramatic par-69 challenge will be our home for the day as we raise funds for ITM Cares’ chosen charity for 2025: Pumping Marvellous.   For just £30 per person, you’ll enjoy a full day of golf at this renowned course, complete with refreshments at our halfway house and a grab-and-go food menu.
