GOLFERS aim to net thousands for the local branch of a cancer research charity this week.
The Black Isle Branch of Cancer Research has raised tens of thousands down the last few years through a charity golf competition hosted by Fortrose and Rosemarkie Golf Club.
The annual event is being run again this year on Friday (May 10).

The charity branch says it wants to thank main sponsors, David Cameron of Upland Development and Willie Gray of Ark Estates and Highland Fuels who are supplying golf balls, Dicksons motor company and Alba Service.
One of the organisers added: “A special mention to Alan MacKenzie, Autovision, who are supplying a car for a hole-in1 at the 18th. Alan has provided a car over many years, with no winner yet.
“With a full compliment of golfers, 18 holes sponsored, some very exciting vouchers and prizes, all we need is good weather to make the day perfect.”
The world class research environment and facilities at the Beatson Institute are supporting scientists to carry out the cutting-edge research that will benefit pancreatic cancer patients.
Ultimately the aim is to make clinical trials more refined and informed by the research so that they are kinder and more effective and make a real difference to the lives of pancreatic cancer patients and their families.
It is thanks to the support and generosity of fundraisers and their contacts that more progress has been made in the last five years than in the previous 50, say supporters.
It is the policy of the branch that all money raised goes to Cancer Research at the Beatson Institute in Glasgow.
