Island players help out Jacob
A LOCAL student has raised more than £500 for charity after completing a challenge of playing three rounds of golf in a single day.
Jacob Travers, 15, has played the game for a number of years and in the past six months has begun playing in regular tournaments at La Grand Mare.
