Corporate and charity golf day specialist, Clarion Golf, has raised over £13,000 for charity, in staging their end of season celebration at Woburn Golf Club.
The event was played across the wonderful Marquess course on 14th October and saw eighty players compete, with live scoring via Golf GameBook.
The event was hosted by actor Kevin Whately, best known for his roles in Morse and Lewis. Former world trick shot show champion, Geoff Swain was on hand to provide some entertainment and auction the many items donated by supporters from the golf industry, including The Belfry, Walton Heath, Precision Golf, TKG Europe, Titleist, TaylorMade, Stewart Golf, Wilson and Srixon. The fourball betterball event was won by Geoff Dennis and David Elliott with 43 points, just a few days after they had also won the Audi quattro Cup World Final in Rome.
The funds raised have been donated to Action for A-T, a small but deserving charity established in 2012 to fund medical research to identify a cure or treatments for Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T), a devastating childhood condition. Action for A-T Chief Executive and former PGA professional, Sean Kelly, was delighted with the success of the event. “We are so grateful to Stephen Russell of Clarion Golf for his ongoing and valued support. The funds raised from the Clarion Golf event will be committed to new research studies in the coming weeks thereby offering hope to the families living with the devastating effects of A-T”.
The event is set to return to Woburn on Friday 13th October 2023 and anyone interested in participating should apply via the website at www.clariongolfcharity.org or by emailing events@clarion.golf
Action for A-Tis a national children’s charity based in Epsom, Surrey that funds high-quality research into the debilitating and life-shortening condition, Ataxia-Telangiectasia. A-T is a very complex condition that affects a variety of different systems in the body so research into A-T can also give insights into common conditions like cancer, compromised immune system, lung conditions and health generally. For many people living with a rare condition such as A-T, sustainable, high-quality research offers hope for the future.
