Three golf crazy Whangsnui brothers may well be in need of their end goal after organising a rather unique fundraising challenge.
Castlecliff Golf Club manager/professional Rodney Donaldson has roped in younger brothers Jack, 18, and Ryan, 16, to hep fundraise to buy a defibrillator for the club.
Fortunately all three
are reasonably fit given the challenge of playing 101 holes in a day.
Rodney Donaldson said they would tee off at 5.30am as a threesome on Sunday, December 15 aiming to finish the 101 holes on the 11th green 13 to 14 hours later.
"Going by the club stats it's a par 405, 50km-60km journey taking us up to 14 hours - well that's in our heads, anyway," Donaldson said.
"I'm on a 1 handicap at the moment, Jack's on a 6 and Ryan a 7 and people can enter a sweepstake calculating how many birdies we get between us, how many over I will play, how many balls we lose or just sponsors us per hole. Our sister didn't want to be part of it, she's not crazy enough.
