GOLFERS have raised more than £7,300 for The Elizabeth Foundation's Raise The Roof appeal.
The charity, which helps children with hearing problems, is using the money for a new family centre at Queen Alexandra Hospital.

The money was raised through sponsorship by local companies, plus fund-raising at a gala dinner.

Teams of four enjo
yed a day of golf on the championship 18-hole course at the Meon Valley Marriott on June 20 followed by a dinner.

Football referee Rob Styles gave a talk to guests after the meal and presented trophies.

He said: 'I enjoyed the day and evening greatly – particularly the banter with guests during my talk.

'The Foundation should be very proud of organising such a fantastic event. It's such a good cause.

'Those of us who have the privilege of working in the closeted world of professional sport would benefit from seeing just how hard people have to work to raise the money that is vital for charities like this to carry out their day to day business - it is humbling.'

Golfing competitions included Beat the Pro, Longest Drive and Nearest the Pin.

Alison Robinson, fund-raising manager at the Elizabeth Foundation, said: 'We are delighted this new fund-raising event was such fun for our golfing supporters.

'We try to organise many sporting events each year, offering something for everyone – sailing, running, walking, football, snooker and now golf.

'If readers from The News have other sporting events that we can get involved with, then we'd love to hear from them.'

To make a donation to the appeal, go to: www.elizabeth -foundation.org or call Alison Robinson on (023) 9237 2735.
