Tony Jacklin said "I've been hearing impaired for the last 25 years and I know very well how not being able to hear the golf club strike the golf ball became a problem, including the swish of the club when you're hitting a full shot, the click of the ball. When you take those things away it changes the whole picture. So on that basis I know some of the problems which face these individuals and I'm more than happy to help these individuals in any way I can"
