The team of five each won a Motocaddy power trolley, as well as being presented the prestigious &#8216;Lee Westwood Cup&#8217; \u2013 commissioned and donated by Wedgwood \u2013 to display in their trophy cabinet. The top two teams both made the generous gesture of donating their prizes back to be used in the NGCC Auction to raise further funds for Help for Heroes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The final was attended by 60 golfers from ten clubs, with each qualifying out from thousands of golfers who participated throughout the UK at their own golf club&#8217;s 2014 National Golf Club Challenge qualifier event. Each event acted as a fundraiser for Help for Heroes, with the final itself raising over \u00a33,500 for the charity.<br \/>\nHenley\u2019s Team Captain, Gill Mitchell, said: &#8220;The Henley team were so proud to be crowned champions. The whole experience was totally unforgettable from start to finish. Despite the best efforts of Hurricane Gonzalo, hurling every extreme adverse weather condition it could at us, this was an amazing event. Superbly managed, and definitely the most memorable golfing experience of my life.\u201d<br \/>\nShe added: \u201cI would urge every golf club to enter next year\u2019s National Golf Club Challenge competition in order to be given the opportunity to play on such an iconic course and to raise funds for a cause so dear to all our hearts. We have already put our entry in for 2015.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The men\u2019s final was won by a five-man team from Newcastle-Under-Lyme Golf Club, with Chorlton-Cum-Hardy in second place.
