Direct Golf UK Staff will take part in a 24-hour golf marathon to help raise money for their former employee Mark Howe, who is undergoing rehab therapy for pneumonia on the brain in the London Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability.

The Chairman, Managing Director, Directors and Managers of Direct Golf UK will tee off at 12 noon on May 4 and play continuous golf through the night until 12 noon on May 5 in a bid to raise funds for Mark's specialist communication computer.

Whilst managing Direct Golf's Edgware store, Mark developed a brain tumour. Although the tumour was removed, it went deeper than first thought, leading to meningitis and then pneumonia on the brain that spread to his lungs.

Mark's mother commented: "Without this equipment, my son wouldn't be able to communicate. It's his lifeline, it keeps his brain active and it makes him want to carry on living."
