Although bowel cancer is the UK\u2019s fourth biggest killer, with 40,000 new cases reported annually, survival is becoming achievable with the world-leading research by centres of excellence such as Royal Marsden Hospital. Golf improves mobility and raises fitness levels and gives the mind an alternative relaxing focus to treatment programs during recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<h5><em>PICTURE CAPTION<\/em>: The Tigers team captain Mike Flyn lifts the trophy after his team won the second Red Trouser Day Golf Day competition, with event organiser Geoff Morris (right) and Red Trouser day founder Paul Finch (left)<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 60 golfers attended the second annual Red Trouser Golf Charity Day held at Westerham Golf Club in Kent on September 12, which succeeded in raising \u00a35,000 for clinical research into bowel cancer at The Royal Marsden Hospital in London.
