With just 8 hours until we start our @SparksCharity golf marathon. Time for bed! We'll be posting updates all day!
On Friday 6th July, Andy Pike and Ben Raven will be participating in their 100+ hole challenge at West Hill. They will each be playing their own ball, holing out and will aim to complete as many holes as they can in one day to raise money for the captain's charity SPARKS.
If you would prefer to sponsor per hole, please send Andy or Ben an email instead of donating here.
To play over 100 holes (they are actually targeting 125) they will be teeing off at 4:45am and will not stop until they can no longer see the ball. This will unlikely be long before sunset at 9.20pm.To reach 100 holes involves completing 5 rounds of golf and playing 10 holes of round number 6. In the event they achieve their target of 125 with sunlight remaining they will continue as each hole will hopefully be worth a considerable amount of money to SPARKS. The guys will be running more than a marathon over the course of the day (approximately 30 miles depending on number of holes completed) and are aiming to complete approximately 2 hour rounds with minimal breaks in between. If you are playing on the day you should see them at least once in their brightly coloured (and matching) outfits. Please encourage them along as they play (or more likely run) through.
