Skirt Golf!

Skirt Golf is being organised by professional golfer Jonathan Gidney to raise awareness and money for Breast Cancer Research.

So why Skirt Golf? Jon made a joke on his Twitter page saying that if he ever reached 1,000 followers he would play a round of Golf in a Skirt, and before he knew it this joke turned into reality! So instead of just playing a round of Golf in a Skirt at a quiet time at his local golf club, he decided to make a proper event out of it and be a real success for the Charity.

Date: Sunday 5th December 2010

Venue: Astbury Hall, West Midlands, England. One of the most exclusive Golf courses in the UK, recently designed and built to the highest standards. Set in the heart of the Severn Valley, surrounded by Shropshire’s uppermost beautiful and dramatic countryside.

Competition: 18 hole Team competition. 4 players per team, 2 best scores to count on each hole. Stableford, full handicap (max handicaps-24 men, 36 women)

Nearest the pin prize on the 18th Hole, and there will be a longest drive competition. And of course there will be a special prize for the winning team.

Entry will be limited to 24 teams. Team entry will cost £200 per team (Only £50 per player) For any team members that wear a Skirt the organisers will reward that team with 1 extra point to their final team score. That’s 4 points if you all wear Skirts!

Please contact jon@jonathangidney.com if you would like to enter a team. If you are keen to play you will need to act fast, there has been a lot of interest!!!

Spectators are more than welcome, and they will be encouraged to compete in a putting competition, and a longest drive competition that will be running throughout the day.

Food and drinks will be available for purchase on the day and there will be Press/Media/TV at the event.
