The British Bread Open 2016
Mad Brits hitting golf balls made from bread onto a 'floating green.'
Words: James Greenwood
Amateur golfers were teeing it up on The Thames this weekend. But instead of using standard issue golf balls, they were using balls made from bread.
A large crowd gathered around the tee to witness the surreal sight of amateur golfers attempting to hit a balls of dough from land, onto the 'green' in a boat. The 17th at Sawgrass it wasn’t, that’s for sure.
The British Bread Open 2016 is part of the series of events from the State of Seething group in Surbiton. The event was staged to raise money for Creative Youth, who put on the annual International Youth Arts Festival locally.
Organiser Robin Hutchinson told the crowd in the six years the British Bread Open has been running, only one person has managed to hit the edge of the hole, with a handful of others striking the green and boat.
He said: "What a wonderful day in the sun next to the river as people of all ages came to take part in the British Bread Golf Open once again. It was lovely to see so many smiling faces in Kingston whilst people on the other side of the Thames looked on with a bemused expression."
