Mr Captain’s 5 Club Challenge

 

An update on my “5 club challenge”, raising funds for the Alzheimer’s Society. Not quite on the same scale as Ben Fogle’s “Everest Challenge”, although Monday morning, my leg’s say otherwise!

 

 

I set off from Woodsome around 07.45 with my wife Janet, arriving at Huddersfield GC around 09.10, where Madam Captain and I played the 13^th guided by Club Captain Brad Tupman. I was joined by Garry Blakeley on the stage to Outlane GC via the Kirklees Way, arriving just after 11.00, where Madam Captain and I both made a 5 down the 1^st.

 

 

Next a little amble across the Colne Valley to Crosland Heath GC, again supported by Janet, arriving around 12.30, where Madam Captain and I played up the tough 4^th. I was then joined by Charles Haygarth for the yomp round Crosland Edge to Meltham GC, arriving just before 14.00. We were met by Club Captain Mark Bailey who provided a wonderful lunch for all.

 

 

Off down the 1^st Madam Captain and I went (I made par!). Next the long stretch via Wood Nook, Magdale, Castle Hill back to Woodsome, accompanied by Ange Haygarth, Janet, daughter Sophie & Fitness Coach Josh Taylor. We arrived at Woodsome around 16.30, where a few members witnessed Madam Captain and I play the 18^th.

 

 

Total walking distance including golf 25.4 miles, for you “steppers”, that is a little over 55,000 steps!

 

 

A big thank you to Madam Captain for keeping us all replenished with food and water via the “support vehicle”, my fellow walkers and all members for their generous donations made so far.  To date the challenge has raised over £1000. Any further donations would be greatly received.  www.justgiving.com/fundraising/steve-val
