Think a fair few here do it/have done it. I would like to give it a crack one year, where i live i reckon we could play 4 different courses in a day too! Good luck to anyone doing it this year!!

I'm doing it. Logistics all sorted, just the small matter of raising a respectable sum for the cause.

Which 4 courses you playing?

Have you set up a just giving page?

We are playing our home course four times with a 4:30am start. I think for the extra challenge we're playing from the back tees adding 2000 playing yards to our day (6529 yards per round), although this is TBC.

Not sure when we go live with the fundraising bit. If people would like to donate I can post up the JustGiving page when it is ready.

As I'm not a member of a club and therefore will have to pay green fees I don't think I'd be able to afford it. Shame as I could easily get at least £750 from sponsers.

Managed to find somewhere that will do it for £22 each for the day.

Anyone think GM should get involved, maybe invite 4 or 8 forum members to a top course for the day.

Anyone in the south (Southampton to Brighton) fancy doing this? The guys I've been trying to talk into it aren't up for it :-(
