We caught up with Annabel Denyer at the BMW PGA Championship, where she handed over a cheque for an incredible £3,373 – an amount she managed to raise during her Captain’s Golf Day when she was junior captain at Woburn Golf Club.
“We decided to use the items donated from the Golf Foundation to help raise funds from our raffle on the day, as well as a few other bits that have been donated by members and some signed merch from Ian Poulter,” she explained.
“For the golf, we played teams of 4 playing Texas scramble, all doing a shotgun start on the Marquess course. We had over 90 people attending and a BBQ afterwards.
“In terms of the activities on the course, we had various activities which people had to pay to enter – longest drive, closest to the pin, beat the pro and a Captains Charity water hole where if you hit your ball into the water, you had to donate.
“After the event, I gave a speech about the Golf Foundation and thanked everyone for their donations and help, plus we had a heads and tails game to raise extra funds. It went really well, and I’m very happy to have raised so much money to support your cause!”
