Guy Humphry-Baker, captain of Piltdown Golf Club in Sussex, is a regular visitor to Hunstanton where he also has a home.
On Sunday, 11 February, he visited the resort's lifeboat station to present a cheque for £2,642.62 to the crew.
Mr Humphry-Baker, who collected the money from golfing friends in Sussex and Norfolk, said: 'We come past the station every day when we're up here and it's a great charity.
'It raises all its funds externally, so we're very happy to support it. It's a great community thing here as well.'
Notes to editor

Like more than 200 stations around the coast of the UK and Ireland, its crew's lifesaving work is funded entirely by donations and legacies.
In 2022, the RNLI spent £188m on rescue services.
Kitting out a crew member with state-of-the-art clothing costs around £2,000, while the average annual training cost per member is £1,400.
