Very well done, over 20 miles, I'm not sure I could do that now. For a great cause and hopefully, you had at least a perfect drive and putt along the way.

That’s great. Hope you enjoyed your time. All for a great cause. I think it’s okay to treat yourself to some beer.

Good for you! 4 walking rounds in a day is no joke. I bet you'll sleep like a baby tonight!

4 rounds in one day to support a charitable cause. What a great way to combine exercise with raising money. Rest well tonight Peter.

p.s. I love the new avatar. I know it doesn't float but it's a nice land yacht.

Impressive.
