125th Anniversary - Fastest round of Golf
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. |
