Charley Hull has been hard at work raising money for a good cause. The English golfer announced a raffle a few days ago, with all proceeds going to Great Ormond Street Hospital, a children’s healthcare system. She’s been raffling off signed memorabilia, but she just raised the stakes a little bit.

Hull revealed a $382 voucher (per Machynys) for sale, with all proceeds going to GOSH. She said:
“Exciting last-minute addition to my raffle for GOSH. Foxhills have kindly donated a fourball voucher for all seven lucky winners. (You will receiver this extra prize alongside the winning raffle item.)”
She recently announced on her Instagram story that she was going to end the raffle on Sunday, giving fans just a few more days to get involved. Hull’s trainer, Kate Davey, has a child who will need healthcare for the rest of his childhood.
Great Ormond Street Hospital exists for cases just like that, and Hull, as well as fellow LPGA Tour star Inci Mehmet, has taken up this cause to provide for the organization that has provided so much for others.

Her post on Instagram announcing the raffle said:
“I have setup an online raffle to raise money for the Great Ormond Street Hospital which I hold very close to my heart. GOSH is one of the top children’s hospitals in the world, and is dedicated to finding new and better ways to treat childhood illnesses.”
For a few more days, fans and followers can get involved. They now have the chance to win that fourball voucher along with helping a good cause.
Charley Hull wants to eradicate slow play on tour
Right now, Charley Hull is enjoying a vacation from golf. The LPGA Tour is largely on hiatus, and the English golfer is not playing the Grant Thornton Invitational this weekend.

When it resumes, Hull would like to see one change: no more slow play. Slow play has been an issue in golf, and the PGA Tour has taken steps to address it in the future.
Charley Hull would like to see her tour follow suit. Via NBC Sports, she said:
“I’m quite ruthless, but I said, ‘Listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a two-shot penalty.”
She went on:
“If you have three of them [penalties], you lose your Tour card instantly. I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.”
The LPGA Tour is not considering making changes to the format right now like the PGA Tour just did.
