The 31-year-old received the 2010 Toby Sunderland award at Wentworth (cheap golf clubs) and £1000 to be donated to a charity of his choice for his efforts in boosting the funds of the South West Children’s Hospice.

Throughout 2009, Lawrence was unflinching in his support for his club’s captain’s charity over a number of arduous months which saw him undergo a 15,000 foot parachute jump(cheap golf clubs) , cycle 880 miles from John O’Groats to Land’s End in seven days, run the Bristol Half Marathon with club vice-captain Alistair Shanks before running the Snowdonia Marathon – rated one of the top five hardest marathons in Europe.

Collecting the award he said: “I’m an adrenaline junkie and these challenges were something that came out of chats over beer with mates and it was a case of let’s do this,” he said. “All of the events were something I enjoyed doing and to be recognised for it in the process(cheap golf clubs) is something that is very humbling and something I didn’t expect.

“I put in a lot of sacrifice in terms of work and when I could teach and my personal life, because all my spare time I seemed to be training. For the bike ride and the marathon there were times when the training all became a bit too much and I did contemplate quitting.

“But what continued to push me was the charity because what I was going through was nothing compared to those parents and children who use the hospice.

“What they do in terms of the support they give and the service they provide to the families and children is incredible. That always got me through the times when it was really tough. But it was brilliant year and the experience of riding from John O’Groats to Land’s End and seeing the extent of people’s generosity is something that will stick with me because it was just fantastic (cheap golf clubs) .”

Warren Sunderland of Sunderland Golf commented: “They were all worthy nominees for the award but no-one has made more effort than Jonathan. He has displayed a quite extraordinary determination to push himself the extra mile – literally in the case of his marathon efforts. We were all in awe.”
