It is a special year as the charity, Linkage, was established in 1976 in Lincolnshire to help learners\u00a0 with special needs progress from school to a more independent life.<\/p>\n<p>The Diable event was set up by parent and Cleethorpes businessman, Tony Diable, to give something back to the charity where his son, Jordan, studied and remains a client. He currently attends sessions at Linkage at Quayside, the adult skills service on King Edward Street in Grimsby. This service helps adults develop greater independence and employability skills.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Diable, who runs Diable Roofing, says: \u201cWe\u2019ve loved staging this golf day over the years as it raises thousands of pounds for Linkage. Ever since Jordan studied there, we\u2019ve been so impressed by the work of the staff at the Weelsby Campus and it\u2019s great to give the students some real work experience as part of their curriculum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Student Jamie Remedios, who graduates this year from Linkage, says: \u201cWe all enjoy meeting and helping the players on Diable Golf Day, greeting them, organising the event, providing food at the halfway house, and celebrating their success. I hope many of the teams will be back to compete for this year\u2019s title.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Linkage Chief Executive, Valerie Waby, says: \u201cOur courses in administration, customer service and hospitality need events like this to put our students\u2019 skills to the test. We can\u2019t thank Tony, his family, Cleethorpes Golf Club and the players enough for supporting our work in Lincolnshire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The day will involve teams of four, any combination of men and women, competing to win team prizes and individual prizes for \u201cnearest the pin\u201d on the 11<sup>th<\/sup> hole and \u201clongest drive\u201d on the 1st Gents and 16<sup>th<\/sup> Ladies. The entry fee is \u00a3120 per team of four and includes a free \u201chalf-way house\u201d and supper. In addition, there is the opportunity to win \u00a310,000 on the 17<sup>th<\/sup> hole for any of the competitors achieving a hole in one.<\/p>\n<p>Local companies and individuals are invited to sponsor a tee or a green.
