Bristol businessman Roger Riggs simply cannot stop collecting money for charity.
After he and his former business partner Dave Timmins raised a record £131,000 from a charity golf day at Filton Golf Club, he said he was retiring.
But within months he is back. And again he is helping out former Scotland and Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson and his wife Meg who run the Willow Foundation they set up in memory of their daughter Anna, who died of cancer aged 31.
Last time a golf day itself brought in £51,000, a ladies' night added £43,000 and a celebrity auction raised £37,000.
Now he is conducting an auction with unique golf days as prizes.
They are: l Golf challenge for two to play Bob Wilson and David Seaman at Brocket Hall including all green fees and lunch on a date to be agreed. Reserve: £2,200.
l Another golf challenge for two at Brocket Hall with Bob Wilson and Kevin Keegan. Reserve: £2,200.
l Golf challenge for three to play with Sir Henry Cooper OBE at the London Golf Club, South Ash Manor Estate, Sevenoaks, Kent on Wednesday August 9, tee off 10am. Green fees, buggies and lunch will be included. Reserve: £2,500.
l Golf challenge for two against Jimmy Tarbuck and Ronnie Corbett at Archerfield Links, next to Muirfield. Date to be agreed. Reserve: £2,200.
At the time the South West Golfer went to press, the auction was due to take place at Jurys Hotel, Bristol, on April 7 when eight items were put up and a sum of £70,000 was the target.
