54 Holes For Hope

Rob Hickey of Fresh Digital and Ollie Nabarro of Opus Estates are undertaking an epic 54-Hole Golf Marathon for charity, in aid of the Pattaya Orphanage, on Monday 27th January 2025.

The two British expats and long-time friends, based in Pattaya, will complete three consecutive full 18-hole rounds of golf, playing non-stop throughout the day from the crack of dawn until dusk, at the Plutaluang Navy Golf course in Sattahip, Thailand.

All proceeds raised by Rob and Ollie will go towards the Pattaya Orphanage

www.thepattayaorphanage.com – an outstanding institution that has provided care for orphans and disadvantaged children in Pattaya for over 50 years.

And here we have it, the full video created by Mark Black, who did an amazing job capturing some great moments for a great cause. Both Ollie and I are extremely grateful to you for what you have produced! ❤

54 Holes for Hope - Update Tuesday 28th January 14.30pm

Hi Everyone, It is the afternoon after the epic day before. I am as stiff as a board but had an awesome day with Rob Hickey and Mark Black, golfing non-stop at the Plutaluang Navy Golf Course, raising funds in aid of the Pattaya Orphanage.Great banter with the lads and some very good golf - with the exception of the last couple of holes at Dusk when Rob and I were quite simply fragged. Between us we shot 29 pars and 4 birdies to raise an additional 225 USD (approx 8k THB) in performance bonuses. A very nice 10k THB additional donation came yesterday also to bring us to 230k THB raised so far, and counting. Our brilliant videographer Mark took lots of great vids and pics which can be viewed in the-hole-by hope updates of the golf marathon in the 'Discussion' section of the 54 Holes for Hope events page on Facebook. These clips will be amalgamated into a full video walkthrough of the event that will be shared over the next week via YouTube and Facebook. We hope that this additional content will help to generate further donations, to get us even closer to our revised target of 300,000 THB before we visit the Orphanage early next week to hand over the donations. To the 95 extremely generous donors who have helped the cause so far - we cannot thank you enough. No rest for the wicked - we are still fundraising! You will be making a difference to the lives of unfortunate children who need support, and an extremely worthwhile institution that helps to provide for them.

Very best regards from us both on this stiff and sore Tuesday afternoon,Ollie Nabarro & Rob Hickey

Hi Everyone,

It is the eve of the golf marathon fundraiser, in aid of the Pattaya Orphanage. We have just hit 172THB for funds raised - just over 5,000 USD from 82 donors so far!

No doubt this will make a significant difference to the lives of the kids at the Orphanage. However, with our target of 300,000 THB we're sure that we can generate even more donations today and tomorrow over the course of the event. Live updates, video and photo content will be posted on the Facebook event page for 54 Holes for Hope.

Please donate to 54 Holes for Hope if you haven't already done so. Here is the link:

Please donate to help Rob & Ollie reach their target of raising 100,000 THB and help Pattaya's orphans a glimmer of hope for a brighter future.

Due to the velocity of donations since 54 Holes for Hope was launched, and the extreme generosity of donors, Oliver & Rob have decided to increase their fundraising target to 300,000 THB!

We thank you all for your outstanding support for this magnificent cause and encourage you to continue to donate to make a lasting and tangible difference to the lives of the great kids at the Pattaya Orphanage.
