How long will Matt's balls last?

Posted by: user8 [FORUM MODERATOR] | Mon 4th Jul 2011 09:05 | Last Reply

Hopefully you have all seen Matt's charity golf on Saturday.

In 'Knatty' style, Golfshake are supplying Matt with 2 sleeves of golf balls.

For a bit of fun, how many shots do you think Matt will hit before losing all 6 ?  The closet answer will get something from the Golfshake prize stock. Answers required by 5am Saturday 9th July.

Stick your answers below.

Matt's Charity Golf - raising money for Tommys - Giving babies the best chance of being born healthy

starting at 5.45am at Great Hadham Golf Club I will then move onto Blakes Golf Club, Canons Brook Golf Club and Finish around 10ish at Bishops Stortford Golf Club.

25'346 Yards if I hit straight all day, so probably looking at quite a bit more. over 14 miles.

Any sponsors/donations are going to be greatly used by Tommys and if you would like to you can by either visiting http://www.justgiving.com/matt-holbrook1 or texting MHGF72 £(amount you wish to donate) to 70070 and it can be added to your phone bill.

For those that arnt already you can follow the whole journey on Saturday on twitter @MattHolbrook86

Based on the fact that in the last round he won't be hitting them far enough to be able to lose them...

As long as you don't suddenly lose two balls in quick succesion when you reach that number Matt.  If that happens I think Daves 'flexible' rule book will be invoked.

Tim

The 8th Hole at Blakes (My 26th hole of the day) is a Island Green, with the wind we get over there some days I have known people to have lots 2 or 3 on that hole not giving up and going to the dropping area and just chipping on.

There is every possibility I could lose 2 there.

Having said this, I have been at the range twice this week concentrating on this particular hole making sure I hit it first time as a personal battle of mine!

2 rounds complete around 200 shots so far and 3 balls lost, lost 1 on the infamous 8th at the blakes so his practice didn't pay off!

Think he's about half way in to the 3rd round with 1 ball left. So around 230 shots I would guess after hitting a 89 and 99 from the first 2rounds

The winning shot number is 332.

I think that makes James Illsley the winner with a great guess of 325.
