Fairwinds golf pro Brett Standerwick golfed from sunrise to sunset last Tuesday as part of BCPGA’s annual fundraiser.
“I ended up playing 126 holes (7 rounds) before my thumb and wrist blew up... literally!” he updated The News by e-mail.
“I was on a great pace at about 1hr 40min per round, but just couldn’t hold on to the club anymore so was forced to stop,” he said.
“It was a great day on the links though, with perfect weather, and great support from staff and members at Fairwinds. Now it’s time to heal up and get ready for next year!”
