A record 72 people will set out in pursuit of the coveted Claret Jug in the 9th Horsington Open at Henstridge Golf Club on September 5th. This is the maximum number the course can accommodate in two “Shotgun starts” – where everyone begins simultaneously on different tees.
The competition was fully booked two and a half weeks before the Off, another record.
Last year the Open raised £950 for local charities Wincanton Live at Home and St Margaret’s Hospice. This year organisers Richard Gaunt and David Blake are hoping to raise considerably more.
Good luck to all competitors. And remember to maintain a proper distance at all times. No jokes about touching the wrong balls -Ed
