100 HOLES

Hilary, Sandra and myself would like to say Thankyou to everyone for their support in our 100 Hole Marathon. We started later than planned, because I overslept! We struck our first ball off the 9th at 6 a.m. and arrived back at the club 12 and three quarter hours later, having played 5 complete rounds and 10 holes virtually non-stop. In fact, we only stopped 3 times to use the loo and change our socks! We ate and drank on the move.

Sandra and Hilary both completed 50 holes and Kath Rushton drove our buggy all day, zipping from one to the other of us. Thank you to all three ladies from me.

Thank you to Graham and Felicity for giving us the use of the buggy all day,and thankyou to the pro-shop for gathering in donations for us. On the day they collected £130, with promises of more. My husband's firm, Battens, sponsored us through their Charitable Trust, with a donation of £250.

Thank you to the lovely people on the course that day, who waved us through and geed us on.

I chose to raise money to be used for children with asthma at Yeovil District Hospital, because of their help with one of our daughters in particular. She has been in and out of hospital since she was 6 months old and we owe the hospital everything.

Now I have one enormous blister to heal and the task of gathering in any donations you wish to make. Please put your money in an envelope marked “Holes” and your name, and hand it in to the pro-shop for me.

Thank you again from us all.
