WORLD FAMOUS GOLFER STRUTS HIS STUFF FOR CHARITY
News release
13th June 2011
Internationally renowned trick golf show maestro David Edwards will be entertaining the crowds at a charity golf day organised by Lincoln estate agency Mundys in aid of Strut in the Community.
Having just returned from China, where he entertained the galleries at the Volvo China Open at Luxhills International Country Club in Chengdu, the Lincolnshire-based golf trick shot specialist will be performing at the popular annual event at Blankney Golf Club on 24th June.
David, who lives in Winteringham near Scunthorpe, is renowned around the world for his trademark ‘scissor shots’. In 2010 he set the record at the Scottish Golf Show by hitting 312 golf balls in three minutes.
He is also well known for the range of original clubs he uses in his show, which includes clubs with a shaft made of a hose pipe, a cricket bat, a fishing rod and one where the driver head is fitted at the end of a golf umbrella.
A record 36 teams have entered this year’s Charity Golf Day and Mundy’s Senior Partner Philip Barnatt said they hope to raise over £5,000 for the Lincoln-based children’s charity.
“In 2010 we raised £4,000 for Strut in the Community,” explained Philip, “but this year we’re hoping to beat that total and given that we have an appearance by the unbelievably talented and entertaining David Edwards I’m confident we will reach our target.
“While it’s fantastic to be able to raise thousands and pounds for charity, the main emphasis on the day will be on having fun. We want people to enjoy themselves and have a really good day out and I think that’s why we’ve had a record number of entries this year.
“The highlight of the day will be undoubtedly David’s show. Regarded by commentator Peter Alliss as the best trick show entertainer in the world, he’s recently performed at the Dubai World Championship so we’re really honoured that he’s agreed to support our golf day.”
As well as David’s trick show at 6pm he’ll be throwing down the gauntlet and inviting team members to test their skills in the High Tee Challenge and win a framed photograph of Tiger Woods in the Hit and Miss competition.
There’ll also be an opportunity to bid on lots in the charity auction including a round of golf for three people with David Edwards at Forest Pines Hotel and Golf Resort and win tickets for the 2012 Olympics with overnight accommodation in the raffle. Tickets cost £1 or £5 for a book and are still available from Mundys estate agency on Silver Street, Lincoln.
Commenting on the day, David said: “I look forward to coming along to the 2011 Mundys Charity Golf Day at Blankney Golf Club on Friday 24th June and hope that I can bring a few smiles to the faces on this wonderful golfing day.
“I ask all golfers to give their support to the very worthwhile children’s charity Strut in the Community which provides much-needed respite care for young people with disabilities and their families.”
