GLENN'S WORLD RECORD BID TOOK
HIM TO MAJORCA AT CHRISTMAS

WHILE most people are pondering what to do with left over turkey and unwanted Christmas presents, spare a thought for professional golfer and world record hopeful Glenn Turner.
On December 25 when most of us were swapping gifts around the Christmas tee, Glenn teed off in Majorca to carry on with his world record attempt.
Golf nut Glenn has been playing at courses across Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland since April 1 in an attempt to set a world record for playing the most 18-hole golf courses in 12 months.
His current total is 280 courses, walking at least a marathon a day.
Glenn spoke of his Yuletide round. He said:
“It would have been nice to be with friends and relatives at this time of year but I have set myself a challenge and I’m not going to shirk from it.
“The next challenge will be for me to tee off with a clear head on January 1 but I’m sure it will be easy as I’m going to be tucked up in the motor home at 8.30pm with a mug of Ovaltine!”
Glenn’s tour is attempting to raise £1 million for the 43 hospices which make up the UK’s Association of Children’s Hospices. You can donate to the charity by texting the word golf to 64446.
