“To date £800 has been raised for the local National Deaf Children's Society thanks to the generosity of the Marlborough Golf Club members who played in the event.  This is a charity that does not receive a great deal of publicity but plays an enormously important role in providing support not only to the children themselves but also the parents of deaf children. Since we are now able to test hearing in newborn infants you can imagine the impact on parents when told their child has abnormal hearing at this very early stage, but on the other hand the earlier something is done about it the better outcome for the child” said Graham Jefferies, Seniors Captain.
