Last year’s winners- the Horsington Hackers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The famous \u201cHorsington Open\u201d is back in September. This annual fun golf tournament in aid of local charities will be played at\u00a0Henstridge Golf Club\u00a0<\/a>on Saturday September 4th 2021. Last year it raised over \u00a31250 for St Margaret\u2019s Hospice and the Somerset and Dorset Air Ambulance. Organisers Richard Gaunt and David Blake are hoping to beat this (again)in 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 9-hole competition is open to all comers. Ladies and non-handicappers are welcome. Entry is\u00a0 \u00a320 per player, including green fees. Individuals and teams of up to 4 can enter. Everything raised goes to the charities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prize (as befits an \u201cOpen\u201d) is a claret jug (to keep for a year), plus many other prizes generously donated by local businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The field normally includes some really good golfers, some desperately bad golfers, many ladies and several beginners. The result is normally a cliff-hanger, and it\u2019s always fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year they will be running three divisions \u2013 One for those with low handicaps (25and under) and the other for high handicaps (26 and over), which will make the distribution of prizes fairer. There will be a further division for those without a handicap (but it\u2019s easy to get one -see below)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The easiest way to enter is to book on line\u00a0via Facebook or the Horsington Blog :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
