GLENN TURNER REACHES 300 MARK
IN WORLD RECORD BID
WORLD record hopeful Glenn Turner is celebrating playing at 300 different 18 hole golf courses in just 292 days.
The 47-year-old from Preston is now into the 10th month of his year long record attempt, and looks set to achieve his target of playing over 365 courses during that period, despite the current wet and windy weather.
Glenn has played at courses in Spain, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England during the past 10 months and is set to finish his tour on March 31 at Nigel Mansell’s Woodbury Park Golf Course in Devon.
The professional golf tutor has taken a year off coaching , left his family behind for 12 months and travelled across the country in a customised motorhome in an attempt to bring a new world record to Britain and raise £1 million for the 43 hospices which make up the Association of Children’s Hospices and the Rhys Daniels Trust.
FANTASTIC PEOPLE
Glenn set the triple century milestone at Rochester and Cobham Golf Club in Kent and said:
“To achieve this milestone is a fantastic boost. The past 10 months have been hard work on my feet and back, especially as I have walked the equivalent of 80 marathons so far on the greens so far and drove 16,800 miles in the motorhome.
“But I’ve met so many fantastic people along the way that it has made me even more determined to set the world record and raise a large amount of money for the thoroughly deserving charities. My next milestone will be setting the new world record on March 31.”
People can donate to Glenn’s charities by texting GOLF to 64446. The text will cost £1 and the amount going to charity will depend on your mobile phone network.
