Tee off to some crazy golf

The town's first crazy golf tournament is being held by the Lions club.

The fun sporting event will take place from 6pm at the Waterloo Square mini-golf course.

The occasion is intended to partly fill the gap left by the demise of the summer carnival.

Those with experience of trying to squeeze a golf ball through a hole in a windmill or a tunnel will be as welcome to take part as much as those who have yet to pick up a golf club.

A mixture of skill and luck will be required to complete the 18-hole course with fun and enjoyment to the fore. Having a good time is as equally important as holes in one.

Teams of four, with a minimum age of 16, will contest the tournament. Individuals will be allocated to teams.

Entry will be 30 a team and 8 a person. Cash prizes and trophies will be available.

Half the funds raised from the tournament will go to the St Richard's Hospital cancer day unit appeal. The rest will go to the Lions' local charities.

Golf course operator Paul Tiernan has provided the venue for the night and Bognor firm JCC Lighting Products Ltd is the main sponsor.
