Hundred Holes in a Day

Hugh Blenkin achieved something few golfers of any age have done when he completed 100 holes of golf in a day to raise over £5,000 for Prostate Research and two other charities through sponsorship.  He started just after four in the morning on 19 June on Rye golf course, East Sussex completing the five rounds, ten holes just before dark at 9.20 p.m. the same evening.  He had five volunteer caddies (one per round) to carry his clubs and the other golf club members not only sponsored him, but let him through their games to speed him on his way.  He spent 13 hours 49 minutes actually playing golf and took 451 strokes for the 100 holes without losing a ball.  All this just 57 days after having his cancerous prostate removed at the hands of Neil O'Donoghue FRCS.

Well done Hugh and thank you!
