Mark Robinson, 58, has been a member of the club since he was eight years old.

To mark the milestone, he organised a special event at the club, which was held on Saturday, August 29.

A total of £11,200 was raised – nearly double what Mark expected to make – with proceeds from the event donated to MND Association and Parkinson’s UK.

The event featured bouncy castles and a tombola on the practice grounds, pop-up golf, entertainment all day, and a golf competition.

Both charities provided T-shirts and collection buckets for the event, and were chosen by Mark because friends of his have diagnoses of motor neurone disease and Parkinson’s.

Hogans and WOW Training were the main sponsors of the event.

Mark said: “We raised £11,200 – half of that went to MND Association, £5,000 went to Parkinson’s UK, and we donated £600 to Sport Parkinson’s Five Nations golf tournament, held at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield.

“It was awesome. I could never have foreseen that happening. It rained in the morning, but people came from everywhere.

“We originally hoped for between £6,000 and £7,000, but to raise that amount of money was incredible. All I can say is ‘wow’ – it was just phenomenal.

“A big thank you to our sponsors, and everyone who helped make the day a success, too.”
