Sports presenter Steve Rider was among the forty-three golfers teeing off for a charity golf day at Hever Castle Golf Club in aid of the charity DEBRA.
DEBRA is the chosen charity for 2017 of golf club Captains Allan Chase and Paula Slack, and supports individuals and families affected by Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). EB is a painful genetic skin blistering condition which, in the worst cases, can be fatal.
Golfers enjoyed lunch and an auction to raise funds, as well as a chance to Beat the Pro against golfer Nick Algate whose son Freddie suffers from EB.
Club General Manager Jon Wittenberg said: “We were delighted to welcome Steve Rider to Hever Castle Golf Club and we hope despite the cold day that everyone enjoyed a great round of golf and raised lots of money for our Captains’ charity, DEBRA.”
Chairman of the DEBRA Golf Society, Gary Johnson said: “We were so pleased to be returning to Hever Castle Golf Club and we thank them for their support. A big thanks also to our sponsors Constance Hotels and Resorts, Golf Breaks and Cliveden House for their generosity.”
