Played yesterday with Jamie and Michael, two Kiwi golfers who are playing a round of golf every day for 2010. They are travelling the world playing some of the worlds best courses and raising money for a NZ based junior golf program – First tee of New Zealand. Had an enjoyable round playing Moonah Links Legends course and finding out more about their awesome golfing adventure. This was their 67th consecutive round of golf and they are holding up remarkably well so far, and playing some good golf! The previous two days had included massive storms so we were very lucky with the weather, though Jamie and Michael probably have a closer connection to the golfing gods than many of us!
Both guys have ditched their day jobs, left their girlfriends at home (the hardest part of the trip) and embarked on the ultimate blokes golf trip. Most of the golf has been sponsored by the courses, and the rest of the trip is on a shoestring making the most of contacts, networks and human spirit. For Jamie and Mike, its all about the experience, the people they meet along the way, the stories, and of course the golf, which by the way is 6,570 holes of golf and if they play to handicap, an astonishing 525,600 shots, give or take a few!!!! The guys plan to write a book when they return, will be worth the read.
