ll golfers have been enjoying the long run ons, obtained on this summers rock hard fairways.

At my club, Fosseway, last week, I made my longest ever shot, backwards using a 4 Iron off the 8th tee. I topped the ball, blasting it on to the wooden red tee marker.

The ball ballooned back over my head to land neatly between the two white tee markers. I recorded a two over par six; happy days!
