the process.<\/p>\n<p>Colin Martin, who spends his days as a customer services officer for a train company, put on a golf day at Frinton Golf Club, reports the Clacton Gazette.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being able to play 18 holes, attendees enjoyed the best of a hog roast and a disco, all of which added to a very special day.<\/p>\n<p>In total, Mr Martin managed to raise an impressive &pound;7,709, taking the total he has raised for the military charity up to &pound;17,000.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesman for Help for Heroes said: &quot;Yet again I am moved by the generosity of Colin and his fellow
