We are the green keepers at the Royal Winchester Golf Club and we have decided to support this years captains charity by completing 100 holes of golf in a day.

The Royal Winchester Golf Club this year are supporting the MND Association and will be directing the money raised to research to help find a cure for this cruel disease and MND Association branches in Hampshire to help support local families living with MND.

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a fatal, rapidly progressing neurological condition affecting more than 5,000 adults in the UK at any one time. The disease causes messages from nerves (motor neurones) in the brain and spinal cord that control movement to gradually stop reaching the muscles, leading them to weaken, stiffen and waste. The result is that people become locked in a failing body, unable to move, talk and eventually breathe. Some may experience changes in thinking and behaviour, with a proportion experiencing a rare form of dementia. MND does not usually affect senses such as sight, hearing and touch.

MND kills a third of people within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis. It affects people from all backgrounds and a person’s lifetime risk of developing MND around 1 in 300. Today six people will be diagnosed and six will die from MND. There is no cure.

We will be completing our 100 hole challenge at the Royal Winchester Golf course on 4th august 2023.Any support you can show our challenge and the captains charity year will be so gratefully received and will make a big difference! Thank you so much.
