The Magna Carta Cup 100 hole Golf challenge

Inspired by the London Legal Walk? Then why not attend the Magna Carta Cup. It’s an epic golfing event on 22 June, also organised by the London Legal Support Trust (LLST) in aid of legal advice charities, at which sponsored participants will endeavour to complete 100 holes in one day over a 33-mile course. Given the length of the course, the event begins at 4.30am (dawn) and doesn’t finish until 10pm (dusk). All levels of golfing expertise are welcome.
