Those who took part walked either a two-mile or 5.7-mile route around the National Trust property in Horringer near Bury St Edmunds.

Attendees could also add the names of those they were walking for to a giant washing line of papers, honouring their loved ones.

Rhiain Grummet took part alongside her grandad who is fighting Parkinson’s.

“My grandad expressed a desire to take part, so as a family we choose to support him and join in to,” she said.

“We have seen the impact the condition can really have on people’s lives.

“Grandad shocked us by keeping up a fantastic pace the whole way and refusing a rest. We are so proud of him.”

The golf day was organised by Ben Beaugeard, 59, in memory of and as a tribute to his life-long friend and former golfer Steve Pye, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s from 2021 but died two years later aged 54.

Mr Beaugeard said his friend introduced him to golf and the pair joined Barnham Broom Golf Club, west of Norwich, at the same time.

“The idea of a golf day came naturally, as golf was a significant part of Steve’s life,” he said.

“We also saw it as an opportunity to raise funds for Parkinson’s UK, which had been a source of support for Steve and his family.

“Steve’s passion for golf was infectious and greatly influenced my involvement in the sport over the past 34 years.”
