Brommers Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Matt's a mate if mine and I'll be caddying for him on his final 2 rounds. 10 rounds is an incredible target, to put it in context, he'll be running approx. 45 miles on hilly terrain whilst carrying some golf clubs and having to stop every 150 to 200 yards. I'm sure he'd appreciate any donations and he is a fellow Owl. The charity was chosen as a mutual friend received fantastic help from the ICU recently.

the monk Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 We once did a similar thing for Macmillan We did 4 rounds and picked a shorter flatter course ( Thorne) we started at first light and it was tough ,so good luck to Matt with this ,he will deserve every penny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt456 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 As long as I get decent weather on the day I’m confident I’ll do it. All this rain isn’t helping but the forecast for Friday is improving all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I've been playing for 40 years and can't putt for toffee. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate golf. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you'll be back soon. Im looking forward to my 16y old giving me another whooping at Hallamshire in a couple of weeks. Nothing like spending half a day looking for lost balls while your offsprings hits every drive straight down the middle.

Cheers Yes I was a member in my youth. Everyone used to say if you can play off 16 at Hallamshire it can play off 6 anywhere else. I'm yet to see that, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
