Can you play 72 holes in a single day?
Published: Last updated:
The gauntlet has once again been thrown down to golfers to conquer the UK’s toughest charity golfing challenge – celebrating the longest day of the year by playing from sun up to sun down.
On June 21st the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign’s Four Course Classic event – backed by golfing legends Darren Clarke and Sam Torrance and former England cricket captain, Michael Vaughan – will see teams of four players from across the UK take on four courses, playing 72 holes in the 16 hours of daylight.
The highest fundraising team will be whisked away on a seven-night stay at the 5* Intercontinental Aphrodite Hills Hotel in Cyprus, courtesy of Thomson Holidays (www.thomson.co.uk), with its own exciting 18-hole course.
A host of other prizes are up for grabs for top fundraising and scoring teams, including golfing breaks, golf equipment and one-off merchandise.
Victorious former Ryder Cup captain Torrance says: “Playing 72 holes between sun up and sun down is an epic challenge for any golfer – and one that everyone should try once!
“However, knowing that every penny you raise will make a difference to thousands of families living with muscle-wasting conditions is a great incentive to get you through.”
All proceeds from the event will help the charity fund its work developing treatments for muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular conditions and supporting the 70,000 people in the UK who are affected.
Visit www.fourcourseclassic.co.uk to sign up and select your chosen courses or call 020 7803 4824.
The standard registration fee is £25 per player, which includes a comprehensive fundraising and preparation pack, the four complimentary tee-times and a Four Course Classic polo shirt for each player. Teams are asked to raise a minimum sponsorship of £250 per player.
