‘Become an iconic figure
in golf’ competition.
Do you dream of being
an iconic figure in golf, following in the footsteps of your favorite player? Well,
Golf Refugees are giving you the chance to break a 145 year-old golf record that
will bring you the notoriety you deserve and put your name into the record
books.
It’s true to say some
golfers are more blessed with talent than others, but don’t let this hold you
back. The Open is ‘open’ to all golfers to try and gain qualification into the
one of the best golf tournaments in the world – The British Open. So this summer,
take your bats and make history.
But how, I hear some
of you say. Golf Refugees golfing hero the late, great Maurice Flitcroft back
in 1976 made history by recording the highest ever score of 121 shots in
British Open qualifier at Formby.
Golf Refugees hereby
summon all golfers to enter Open qualification and use their tenacity and post
a higher score. To the winner, iconic golf status beckons.
To accompany your new
found fame, Golf Refugees will chuck in a Maurice Flitcroft button badge and
even consider offering Maurice Flitcroft apparel in the form of polo’s &
t-shirts.
Some encouraging
words from our hero;
He'd come to golf
late after reading a Peter Alliss instruction manual.
"I discovered I
really liked the game, and I picked it up pretty quick"
"I used to practice every night, sometimes for as much as an hour or
two." Occasionally, he wandered near a golf course. "I'd park at the
perimeter and nip over the fence and hit a few shots."
He was 46 years old
and living on Social Security. For that summer's Open, he borrowed the entry
fee from his wife, Jean.
On the first tee;
"Flitcroft hoisted it straight up, came down vertically, and the ball
travelled precisely four feet."
After bollixing the
first tee shot, he abandoned his driver. "I got the 3-iron out and played
safe, except I wasn't that great with the 3-iron. I should have used the
4-wood, but I'd left that in the car." Flitcroft added, wistfully, "I
was an expert with the 4-wood, deadly accurate."
Nothing can stop you
now. Not even the R&A.
