OU golf challenge open to students and alumni

For the 11th year, students and alumni are again invited to join current staff for a day of golf at the Annual Open University Staff and Student Golf Challenge.

It will take place at the OU's home course, The Millbrook Golf Course, in Bedfordshire, on Tuesday 22 May 2012.

The format will be unchanged from previous competitions – in the morning there will be a fun nine-hole scramble of teams put together on the day. 

The main event in the afternoon will see an individual, full handicap Stableford over 18 holes for the OU Challenge Trophy. There will also be nearest-the-pin and longest drive prizes.

There have been both male and female previous winners, which include staff, current students and alumni. 

The event is supported by both the OU Club and The Millbrook Golf Club, so the day’s golf plus coffee, bacon (or egg) butty, lunch and prizes costs only £25. 

Students and alumni, with current handicaps, can obtain full details and enter by contacting Andy Harding, Faculty of Maths, Computing and Technology at The Open University in Milton Keynes by emailing a.v.harding@open.ac.uk or calling 01908 653328.

This is essentially a fun event, but it is restricted to golfers with handicaps. The event is popular and therefore places will be allocated strictly on a first come, first served basis.
