A COUNTY Durham golfer has edged a step closer to a golfing holiday to Morocco after winning an event at Slaley Hall.

Tanfield Lea’s Graham Clennell, who plays off 16, was crowned champion at the club’s sponsored medal event, one of a series of nationwide tournaments organised by the Moroccan National Tourism Office and QHotels.

The Road to Morocco series encompasses all 11 of QHotels’ golf resorts, with 22 member events, for both men and women – with each winner being entered into a draw to win a trip to Morocco.
