The golfing event of the year has just finished. Not the 150th Open Championship at St Andrews, but a far more impressive two-day golfing marathon just completed by a lawyer from Merseyside firm Weightmans and his colleague. David Lewis, head of the firm’s Liverpool office and Nick Wilson, health and safety manager at the firm, were joined by four clients to play rounds on six different courses, covering 25 miles and 30,000 yards. Unlike Tiger Woods et al, these chaps completed the course without the aid of caddies. They teed off to raise funds for local children’s hospice, Claire House. No doubt they celebrated with something refreshing at the 19th hole – or should that be the 109th.
