Some members of Minehead & West Somerset Golf Club have announced they are heading off on what they're calling the 140th Centenary Challenge, from 22 to 26 August 2022 - to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.

One of the members undertaking the challenge, Martyn Westbury, explained, "April 1882 saw the birth of Minehead & West Somerset Golf Club and in our 140th Centenary, four members - myself, Tiny, Doug and Jim - have decided to fund raise to mark this anniversary.

"Enter the 140 Hole Challenge. We are led to believe this is the first time this has been done. What we're doing is playing 140 holes of golf at some of the oldest courses in England  - with each course being older than our own. And all in just four and a half days.

"At 7am on August 22nd we will leave Minehead to start this quest and anyone can follow us each day on our Facebook page."

The team!

The route the group is taking is:

• Monday 22nd August - 1330 Royal Blackheath
• Tuesday 23rd - 0800 London & Scottish & 1400 Royal Wimbledon
• Wednesday 24th - 0800 Oxford & 1430 Newbury & Crookham
• Thursday 25th - 0800 Bramshaw & 1636 Royal North Devon
• Friday 26th 0930 Minehead & West Somerset
