An event to support type 1 diabetes research has raised nearly £160,000 – thought to be the highest ever raised for charity from a golf event.
The day, at Stoke Park Country Club in Buckinghamshire, eclipsed the £140,000 raised last year at the same golf club for the same charity, JDRF. This means the club has helped raise a staggering £300,000 for the charity in the last year.
It’s also higher than the £116,000 that was put together at Wentworth last year, in a charity golf day led by Gary Player, but is less than the £1 million Foxhills Club & Resort in Surrey hopes to raise this autumn for those affected by the Grenfell Tower disaster.

That's an astonishing amount! 😱 Well done to all who organised, took part, and donated 🙂
