10 over par for Irvine & Dreghorn

Four golfing bandsmen have been doing their bit for fund raising and sartorial elegance in aid of the 40th anniversary of Irvine & Dreghorn Band.

The golf mad lads at the Irvine & Dreghorn Band (and you can see this from their wonderful attire, above) have just undertaken a marathon 40 Round Golf Challenge to celebrate their band's 40th anniversary.

The three day venture which ended yesterday (23rd June) saw the quartet play 10 rounds of golf each — 40 rounds in total at 10 different courses in Ayrshire, finishing at the Irvine Golf Club.

We'd like to thank all of the golf courses, their staff and committee's who have helped us with the use of their courses and facilities to enable us to complete our challengespokesperson

Thanks

Their leg weary spokesperson told 4BR: "We'd like to thank all of the golf courses, their staff and committee's who have helped us with the use of their courses and facilities to enable us to complete our challenge."
