Change of shoes and socks and a shower halfway round. Stop and refuel properly at lunchtime. Keep fluids up and have fun.

2 pints of Guinness and a full English worked for me :thup:
Would also say a jar of soothing cream in case of GA...........

Very good. Anyone know what kind of funds you need to raise and score your team needs to get to be in contention for the Boavista finals?

Sorry - wouldn't know. Been about 3 years since I last did it. Think we raised a few hundred pounds. Would like to do it again though as its a great experience and achievement. Where are you planning on playing? Make sure it's well advertised at the club as you'll get some money on the day.

Hi
I took part this year raising just over £1500. The club didn't want any green fees so make sure you speak to your club.
Beat advise is planning! We started at 4am finished around 6.30 ish.
Agreed with freshening up! Change of socks, underwear the full shebang! I also recommend taking talc for your feet and possibly other areas that may start to rub after so much walking. One of our guys wore Lycra underwear which helped loads.
Also play one course the the year after try others! Some people will say they done 4 different courses... But get the first challenwge out the way so you know what your up against.
Tell the press... Get buckets balloons polo shirts etc.... We did and it worked a treat!
Finally... Enjoy as it will be an emotional roller coaster!! To say all four of us nearly shed a tear as we were putting once last 18th because we really enjoyed it and felt so proud for what we had achieved.

Great advice guys and really looking forward to this now. Hoping to do it at my home club Sweetwoods Park near East Grinstead in East Sussex. Have lots of time to plan ahead and raise funds (and find Lycra underwear).
