125th Anniversary On Friday 13th July, as a part of the 125th anniversary celebrations we are to make an attempt on the world record for “The Fastest Round Of Golf by a Team of Players”. According to the Guinness book this stand at 13 minutes and 52 seconds and is held by Farnham Golf Club. This is somewhat confusing because twenty-five years ago a team accomplished this feat in twelve minutes! There is no limit to the size of the team and so the more members, men, ladies and juniors we have taking part, the greater are our chances of success.
We are hoping that as many of you as possible will join in this piece of enjoyment. Low handicap players will be playing the tee shots and groups of golfers will be positioned ready to advance the ball to the green, where chippers and putters will be holing out. As soon as one hole is completed the next tee shot is struck. The record does not require the same ball to be used throughout the round. We will also need members to indicate the direction of the tee shots and at some holes to telegraph ‘Go’ to the next tee shot. We hope that the press and local TV will take interest which should add to the feel-good factor. The event will take place at 6.00pm and will be followed by a barbecue.
Club Day
Captain Lee Caddy and Lady Captain Susan Moore have pleasure in inviting you to the Lyme Regis Club Day on Saturday 31st March at 10.30am. This will take the form of mixed drawn teams (we are keen to ensure Juniors, Ladies and Men’s sections all play) playing a Texas Scramble Shotgun Start. You and your family are invited to stay for a BBQ. Entrance fee £12.50 each (Juniors £6) - *Entrance Fee includes prizes and BBQ*
Driving range
Can anyone who has a driving range basket please return it to the Pro Shop as soon as possible as once again we are very short of baskets. Also if any members have any old golf balls that they are willing to donate for use on the driving range it would be very much appreciated by the club.
