Speedgolf Championship 2016

We're runnnig (ish).

The British Open Speedgolf Championships will return to Dale Hill Golf Club in East Sussex on August 14 2016.

Dale Hill Hotel and Golf Club general manager Carl Rundgren said: “Speedgolf is an exciting version of the great game and one which gets the heart racing, blood pumping and takes the sport to new limits and away from its traditionally staid image.”

Speedgolf attracts both golfers and runners. “The challenge in Speedgolf is balancing your running pace with your capacity to swiftly and accurately play your shots to get the lowest combined score possible,” said Pam Painter, Co-Founder of British Speedgolf.  

British Open Speedgolf Champion Rob Hogan who at the 2014 Championship shot a round of 77 in just 34 minutes and 4 seconds, giving him a Speedgolf Score of 111:04.

Last year saw the introduction of a dedicated women’s category and the 2016 event will also offer a team competition for the first time, based on a simple alternate shot format.

In a GolfPunk office straw poll, there were no takers. We’ve got one marathon between us, but that’s your lot. Can we have a buggy please?
